Evidence snapshot for Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic has made significant progress on electoral gender parity in its lower chamber through a strengthened quota system: women's representation in the Chamber of Deputies rose from 11.7% before 1997 to 36.8% (70 of 190 seats) by May 2024, driven by enforcement mechanisms that automatically reject non-compliant candidate lists. However, the country's large-scale digital inclusion programme República Digital fell substantially short of its targets, delivering only 23–43% of intended devices to teachers and students between 2016 and 2021. More recently, the Dominican Republic launched InvestmentMap 2.0, an AI chatbot for public investment transparency, though no operational usage metrics had been published six months after its December 2025 launch.
