Centre for Women in Governance (CEWIGO) was established in 2006 by a group of women and men who shared a common vision of governance that affirms the principles of gender equality, integrity, accountability, sustainable development and peace. CEWIGO’s mission is to mobilize women and build their capacity to influence governance at all levels and to increase awareness that where women and men share equally in the generation and maintenance of good governance, the benefits accrue to all society. The grant will be used to strengthen the capacity of female leaders to effectively participate in electioneering as well as to enhance their knowledge and skills in governance and leadership positions.
