Scores cluster high, so position within the catalogue is often more telling than the number alone.
Transferability / replicability1/3
The legislative quota model is transferable, but Angola's specific political context (dominant single party driving compliance) limits replicability in more pluralistic settings.
Impact on gender equality1/1
Women's parliamentary representation reached 38.6% by 2024, above global average; first woman National Assembly President elected in 2022—documented positive impact on women in leadership.
Effectiveness1/1
Current 38.6% representation exceeds the 30% statutory target; initial 2012 result (26.9%) fell below, indicating a delayed but ultimately effective mechanism.
Efficiency1/1
A legislative mechanism (low administrative cost) achieved above-average sub-Saharan African parliamentary representation over a 14-year horizon.
Evaluated outcomes1/1
IPU Parline, UN Women Data Hub (data.unwomen.org), and World Bank gender indicators (SG.GEN.PARL.ZS) independently track Angola's parliamentary gender composition per election.
Sustainability1/1
The law has been operative for 14 years; the Head of State's commitment to a 40% target signals continued political will beyond the minimum statutory requirement.
Achievement / evidence1/1
38.6% women in parliament (Feb 2024); first woman Assembly President (2022)—both publicly documented measurable milestones.
Gender-mainstreaming embedding0/1
Formal statutory mainstreaming exists, but weak gender statistics infrastructure (only 36% of gender SDG indicators available) and restricted civic space constrain substantive mainstreaming.
Curator validation1/1
C-NAPSE curator verified 38.6% figure against UN Women data hub (data.unwomen.org) and World Bank open-data indicator (SG.GEN.PARL.ZS, Angola).
