Evidence snapshot for Senegal
Senegal's Law on Absolute Gender Parity in Elective Bodies 2010 mandated alternating male-female candidates on all electoral lists, raising women's representation in the National Assembly from 22.7% to 42.7% in 2012 and sustaining local representation at 44% by 2022. However, this numeric parity did not translate evenly into power, with only 2 of 14 Assembly committees chaired by women and just 2.7% of mayors being women after 2014. On literacy and digital skills, PAJEF enrolled 3,998 girls and women in face-to-face literacy classes and 2,300 in online strands across seven regions, achieving 96% pass rates or progression; the Jokko Initiative's SMS-literacy programme showed women able to write text messages rising from 8% to 62% after four months of training in rural Vélingara.
