Evidence snapshot for Dakar
Senegal's Law on Absolute Gender Parity in Elective Bodies 2010 mandated alternating gender parity on electoral lists, raising women's representation in the National Assembly from 22.7% to 42.7% in 2012. PAJEF — Digital Literacy Project for Girls & Women enrolled 3,998 girls and women in face-to-face literacy classes across seven regions including Dakar starting in 2012, with 96% passing their primary-school-equivalent exam or progressing to the next level, and reached approximately 30,000 women via TV programme from June 2013 onward in Dakar classrooms. The evidence demonstrates Dakar's role in gender parity implementation and digital literacy expansion, though the practices do not quantify Dakar-specific outcomes separately from the broader national and regional programmes.
