in this catalogue (719 scored practices)
Scores cluster high, so position within the catalogue is often more telling than the number alone.
Transferability / replicability2/3
The every-4th-seat quota design is a specific, replicable legislative mechanism, but its 2024 reversal provides essential cautionary lessons about the need for constitutional embedding.
Impact on gender equality1/1
UNDP confirmed women's share rose from 14% to ~20% in parliament and from 13.8% to 24% in local councils after the 2020 and 2021 elections.
Effectiveness1/1
Within its operating period, the quota measurably increased women's representation in both national and local elections, confirmed by UNDP 2022.
Efficiency1/1
A low-cost Electoral Code amendment produced significant representation gains within a single electoral cycle at minimal direct public expenditure.
Evaluated outcomes1/1
UNDP Georgia published a formal 2022 evaluation commissioned with NDI, UK and Swedish support, providing systematic analysis of outcomes.
Sustainability0/1
The quotas were abolished by Parliament in October 2024, directly demonstrating failure of long-term embedding — sustainability scored 0.
Achievement / evidence1/1
UNDP and independent journalists confirm: +6 pp national, +10 pp local representation — documented across two electoral cycles while quotas were in force.
Gender-mainstreaming embedding0/1
Subsequent repeal in 2024 demonstrates that gender equality was not embedded in political party culture or constitutional protections — gender mainstreaming scored 0.
Curator validation1/1
Multiple independent sources (UNDP 2022 formal evaluation, Venice Commission statements, Eurasianet, Civil Georgia) corroborate both gains and the 2024 reversal.
