Progress on political voice, women's empowerment and well-being

This animation highlights what we can learn from Colombia, Ghana, Morocco and Tunisia's progress in democratisation and women's empowerment over the last few decades.
Ghana has achieved remarkable progress in human development over the past 20 years while undergoing one of the most successful transitions to multi-party democracy in sub-Saharan Africa. This paper explores the factors that have contributed to progress in both the provision of basic services (notably in health and education) and greater political voice for citizens.
This summary report shows how recent progress in Tunisian female political representation has been made possible by half a century of accruing rights under increasingly authoritarian regimes.
