The primary project objective is to better understand what promotes women's participation in politics in Malawi, and the possible effects of women's participation in different political arenas. The goal is to produce new knowledge on the situation of female representation in politics in Malawi, in terms of descriptive, substantive and symbolic representation in the arenas of the executive, parliament, and political parties.
