CAWTAR held a regional Roundtable on March 14, 2008 in Tunisia, in the frame of its joint project with the Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) on Arab Women and Local Governance. The Roundtable was the opportunity to discuss and exchange experiences on Arab women’s participation in local governance councils in the countries partnering in the project, but also to hear about different experiences in this area from representatives of other countries. It was also aimed at encouraging participants to brainstorm on how to use the set of advocacy tools developed in the frame of the project and decide on an advocacy strategy to support women’s participation in local governance in Arab countries.

In this perspective, CAWTAR invited participants from 8 different Arab countries representing institutions and organizations active in the area of women and local governance to contribute experiences, information and action plan in this area during the roundtable.
