Lesson Learned:

While the numbers of women candidates who won seats in the local and district elections of Moldova did not increase greatly, the greatest impact of the project was on its beneficiaries. The project enhanced their self-esteem and self-confidence, gave them the sense of being members of a community of women which transcends party lines and social divisions, motivated and empowered them to become active in public life, and provided the tools to enable them to do so successfully.
