- Participación política de las mujeres en el Ámbito local en América Latina
-
 Women’s political participation in municipalities has received little attention until recently, though the chronic under-representation of women in mayoral and other local elected positions is increasingly recognized as a significant challenge to gender equality. This working paper is part of the first phase of the project: Strengthening governance from a gender perspective and women’s political participation at the local level in Latin America, and contains information, analysis and conclusions synthesized from various sources with the aim of providing a panoramic view of knowledge, information and reflection on the question of women’s political participation at the local level.

 New Gender Machinery at the Local Level in Latin America
Santo Domingo, 2007
Local governments in Latin America have not been characterized by their capacity to design their own public policies - beyond the service-delivery and infrastructure functions traditionally assigned to the local level – which do not leave much room for a holistic view of gender concerns. This working paper is part of the first phase of the project: Strengthening governance from a gender perspective and women’s political participation at the local level in Latin America, and contains information, analysis and conclusions synthesized from various sources with the aim of providing a panoramic view of the status of the new gender machinery which has been established at the local level as a result of recent decentralization processes in the Latin American context.

Experiences from Latin America
Santo Domingo, 2007
This document is a revision of Latin American experiences with the implementation of quota laws, which confirms that over the last years there has been a significant increase in women's political participation at both the executive and legislative levels. Quota laws are present in the majority of Latin American countries, though other affirmative actions have also been identified for increasing women's participation in the public sphere.

- Indigenous Women's Participation in Governance Processes and Local Governments: Bolivia, Colombia, E
-
 Santo Domingo, 2007
This report is the product of a broad bibliographic review, as well as consultations with various stakeholders on the participation of indigenous women in governance processes and local governments in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala and Peru. The report aims to systematize lessons learned and identify critical entry points for intervention. In order to contextualize the information, the report also discusses: i) the definition of the "indigenous;" ii) the relationship between indigenous peoples and poverty as a crucial influence on the issue of participation; and iii) the relationship between indigenous peoples, local governments and governance, including the tensions that can arise from differing conceptions and practices.
