Strengthening the Voice and Visibility of women in Elections

The Africa Regional Service of Inter Press Service (IPS) Global
News Agency embarked on a project entitled “From Polls to Polls”
in 2007 to strengthen the voices and perspectives of women in
the IPS Africa’s journalistic coverage of politics, elections and
governance processes. The two-year project focuses not only on
African journalists in the IPS network, but also extends the training
reach to women politicians and aspiring politicians in Africa to
build their capacity to engage with the media, as well as their
capacity to speak competently on the major women’s human
rights, gender equality and development issues facing the continent
today. This project is situated within a long tradition of the IPS
global news service, headquartered in Rome, Italy, to strengthen
the voices of women and a gendered analysis of issues in its
political, economic, development, environment, human rights,
among others, global coverage.
