Evidence snapshot for Mauritius
Mauritius has pursued gender equity in local government through the Local Government Act 2011 Gender Quota, which required parties to field at least one-third candidates of each sex and increased women's local government representation from 6.4% to 26.2% in the December 2012 elections, reaching 36.6% on municipal councils. The country has invested in digital inclusion through the Digital Lab on the Go, a government-funded mobile unit that reached over 3,500 citizens across 30 regions since April 2024, including targeted training for elderly citizens on e-government services. Mauritius has also launched digital government services innovation, including MAIA+, a 24/7 AI chatbot enabling citizens to access certificates, book appointments and track service requests, though its real-world adoption remains unverified beyond government reporting.
