Lessons Learned Report: Nominated Seats for Women in the Papua New Guinea Legislature

In order to redress women’s representational imbalance in the PNG National Parliament, a strategy to move ahead on temporary special measures was put in place following the 2007 UNDP Diagnostic for Women and Elections which advocated for the nomination of 3 women to the Parliament, using existing provisions in the National Constitution. The campaign was unsuccessful, but this report captured lessons learned from the process.
