DIPD kwa CHADEMA
Taasisi
ya Denmark ya Vyama na Demokrasia (DIPD) inaunga mkono
CHADEMA (Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo) kupitia ushirikiano wa muda mrefu wa chama kwa chama na programu za usaidizi wa demokrasia.
Maelezo muhimu ya uhusiano huo ni pamoja na:
- Mkazo Mkuu: Ushirikiano huu unalenga hasa uimarishaji na ushiriki wa kisiasa wa wanawake na vijana.
- Ubia wa Denmark: Ushiriki huu unahusisha mabadilishano ya vitendo, ya chama kwa chama, na vyama mbalimbali vya siasa vya Denmark (kama vile Chama cha Kihafidhina cha Denmark).
- Kujenga Uwezo: Programu hizi hutoa zana na ujuzi unaolenga kuwawezesha wanasiasa wanawake kuingia kwenye karatasi ya kupigia kura na kushiriki vyema katika siasa za mitaa na kitaifa

Mradi ulianza: 2023
Vyama sita vya Denmark vimekusanyika katika mradi wa vyama vingi, vikifanya kazi katika nchi tofauti duniani ili kuongeza uwakilishi na ushawishi wa wanawake katika siasa za ndani. Ushirikiano huu unafanya kazi haswa na Lengo la Maendeleo Endelevu la 5, "Usawa wa Jinsia," kupitia lengo la 5.5, "Hakikisha ushiriki kamili na mzuri wa wanawake na fursa sawa za uongozi katika ngazi zote za kufanya maamuzi katika siasa, uchumi, na maisha ya umma." Hii inatokana na ukweli kwamba wanawake hawawakilishwi kwa kiasi kikubwa katika vyombo vya kufanya maamuzi duniani kote na hawana fursa sawa na wanaume wanapogombea nafasi na kujaribu kuzungumza.
Uwakilishi mdogo wa wanawake katika siasa za mitaa mara nyingi husababishwa na kanuni za kijinsia zilizo na mizizi imara, ambapo wanaume wanaonekana kuwa wanafaa zaidi kwa nafasi, hivyo kupata kura nyingi zaidi kutoka kwa wanaume na wanawake. Nchi nyingi duniani bado zina kanuni za jadi za kijinsia, ambapo wanawake wanatarajiwa kufanya kazi nyingi za nyumbani. Kazi hii isiyolipwa ambayo wanawake wanatarajiwa kutimiza inawafanya wawe na rasilimali chache za kugombea kama wagombea katika uchaguzi kuliko wanaume.
Kanuni kali kuhusu nafasi ya wanawake na wanaume katika jamii pia zinachangia ukweli kwamba wanawake hawateuliwi mara nyingi kuwa wagombea, na wanapoteuliwa, hawachaguliwi kama wagombea wakuu. Wanawake pia wanakabiliwa na uwezekano mkubwa wa kunyanyaswa kwa aina yoyote. Uanachama wa chama ni muhimu katika kushughulikia masuala haya na una jukumu kubwa katika kuunda sera zinazoweza kushughulikia vikwazo hivi.
Ushirikiano kati ya pande sita za Denmark
Ushirikiano wa vyama vingi kati ya vyama sita vya Denmark na mashirika washirika wao unawakilisha fursa ya kipekee kwa ushirikiano unaotegemea usawa na kujifunza kwa pamoja. Matatizo ambayo wanawake wanakabiliwa nayo katika siasa za mitaa ni ya kawaida katika aina zote za demokrasia. Katika mbinu hii, washirika wote wanaohusika wanatarajiwa kufanya kazi ili kuongeza usawa wa kijinsia ndani ya mashirika yao wenyewe.
Mradi huu ni wa kipekee katika mfumo wake. Pale ambapo ushirikiano wa vyama vingi unaofanywa na DIPD kwa kawaida huhusisha vyama vingi vya Denmark vinavyoshirikiana na mshirika mmoja katika nchi, huu ni mradi unaovuka mipaka ya ushirikiano wa vyama kwa vyama.
Kama sehemu ya ushirikiano, timu ya wawezeshaji kutoka vyama sita vya siasa vya Denmark vilivyoshiriki imefunzwa na OSCE kufanya ukaguzi wa kijinsia na vyama vya siasa vilivyoshiriki na kuandaa miongozo ya ukaguzi wa kijinsia na vyama hivyo. Washirika wote wanaohusika watafanya ukaguzi wa kijinsia. Ukaguzi huo unawezesha vyama hivyo kuunda mikakati ya kuongeza uwakilishi na ushawishi wa wanawake katika vyama vya siasa vinavyoshiriki na kuongeza asilimia ya wanawake wanaogombea uchaguzi wa mitaa.
Kutakuwa na mikutano ya mara kwa mara mtandaoni ili kusambaza taarifa na kubadilishana uzoefu. Mikutano hii pia itaanzisha mitandao katika mahusiano ya chama kwa chama na kutoa msukumo kutoka kwa mbinu na zana za vyama vingine.
Ubunifu katika mradi huu wa vyama vingi ni kukuza ushirikiano sawa ambapo pande zote zinazohusika zitafanya kazi kuelekea lengo moja. Kama sehemu jumuishi ya mradi, vyama vya siasa vya Denmark na vyama vya siasa kutoka nchi washirika vitahamasisha, kutoa changamoto, na kujifunza kutoka kwa kila mmoja kwa lengo moja la kukuza uwakilishi na ushawishi wa wanawake ndani ya vyama vya siasa. Yote haya yanatumainiwa kufanya maamuzi ya kisiasa kuwa sawa na salama zaidi kwa wanawake kushiriki na kushawishi.

Representation and influence of women in local politics
Six parties in Denmark are working together to enhance the representation and influence of women in local politics in various countries.
Partnership facts
Danish partners: The Conservative Party, The Red-Green Alliance, Green Left, The Social Liberal Party, The Liberal Party/DLDP, and The Social Democratic Party.
Local partners: SocDem Asia, CHADEMA. CMD-Kenya. Green Left Front (Zeleno Levi Front), La Manada Feminista, Eastern European Centre for Multiparty Democracy (EECMD).
Project start: 2023
Six Danish parties have gathered in a multiparty project, working across different countries in the world to increase women’s representation and influence in local politics. The partnership is working specifically with Sustainable Development Goal 5, “Gender Equality," through target 5.5, “Ensure women’s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making in political, economic, and public life." This is based on the general fact that women are significantly underrepresented in decision-making organs worldwide and do not have the same opportunities as men when running for office and trying to speak up.
The underrepresentation of women in local politics is often caused by strongly rooted gender norms, where men are perceived as being more suitable for office, thus receiving more votes from both men and women. Many countries in the world still have traditional gender norms, in which women are expected to perform a majority of domestic labour. This unpaid labour that women are expected to fulfil results in them having comparatively fewer resources to run as candidates in elections than men.
Strong norms concerning the role of women and men in society also contribute to the fact that women are not as often nominated to be candidates, and when they are, they are not elected as lead candidates. Women also suffer from being more likely to be the subject of harassment of any kind. Party membership is crucial in addressing these issues and plays a huge role in formulating policies that can address these obstacles.
Partnership between six Danish parties
The multiparty partnership between six Danish parties and their partner organisations represents a unique opportunity for a partnership that is based on reciprocity and mutual learning. The difficulties that women face in local politics are common across all types of democracies. In this approach, all involved partners are expected to work to increase gender equality within their own organisations.
The project is distinctive in its modality. Where the multiparty partnerships DIPD engages in usually involve multiple Danish parties going together with a single partner in a country, this is a project that runs across the lines of party-to-party partnerships.
As part of the partnership, a team of facilitators from the six participating Danish political parties has been trained by OSCE to conduct gender audits with the partnering political parties and develop gender audit guidelines with the parties. All involved partners will conduct gender audits. The audits enable the parties to develop strategies for increased representation and influence of women in the participating political parties and to increase the percentage of women running for local elections.
There will be regular online meetings to disseminate information and share experiences. These meetings will also establish networks across party-to-party relations and provide inspiration from other parties’ methods and tools.
The innovation in this multiparty project is to develop equal partnerships where all parties involved will work towards the same goal. As an integrated part of the project, the Danish political parties and political parties from the partner countries will inspire, challenge, and learn from each other on a common goal to promote women’s representation and influence within the political parties. All this will hopefully make political decision-making more equal and secure for women to participate in and influence.
