National Transformational Leadership Institute (NTLI) and the Ministry of Gender, Child and Social Welfare (MGCSW) in partnership with UNDP to establish the current status of women’s representation and participation in the public sector and accelerate gender equality progress in support of peacebuilding efforts. Despite a constitutional commitment to a minimum 35 percent gender quota and a broad legal and policy framework aligned with international benchmarks, deep-seated historic, cultural, and socio-economic obstacles persist. The findings reveal a systematic under-representation of women in almost all public administration decision-making positions, indicating that significant gaps remain between policy and practice due to lacking implementation and enforcement mechanisms, which ultimately undercuts successful inclusion. The report concludes by providing strategic recommendations and emphasizing the critical need for financial and capacity support to advance the careers of aspiring, newly recruited, and existing women leaders.
