Win With Women Global Initiative

Because the meaningful inclusion of women is integral to vibrant democratic development and strong political parties, NDI and its chairman, Madeleine K. Albright, launched the Win with Women Global Initiative to promote strategies for increasing women's political leadership worldwide. The anchor of this initiative is the Global Action Plan, a document that outlines practical recommendations for political parties to broaden their appeal by addressing women's role as voters, candidates, party activists and elected officials; the Global Action Plan was created in 2003 and has since been translated into more than a dozen languages. Activists and dozens of political parties, civic organizations and intergovernmental institutions have signed onto the plan, and many are using it to improve women’s access to political leadership.
