Evidence snapshot for Nicaragua

Nicaragua's evidence base includes a large-scale community reforestation initiative that has engaged 4,000+ smallholder families across 17,000+ hectares and paid US$3.1 million to communities in 2021, and a World Bank broadband programme that completed a 115 km fibre segment reaching 75,262 residents with connectivity to 14 health centres and 5 schools by mid-2022. At the same time, Nicaragua achieved 53.9% female representation in its National Assembly by 2024 — the world's third-highest — through gender-parity legislation, though this numeric gain occurred alongside documented closure of approximately 80% of the country's active NGOs and independent women's rights organisations since 2018, illustrating that quota compliance alone does not ensure substantive gender equality.
