Madeleine K. Albright Grant
As part of its commitment to promoting the equitable participation of women in politics and government, NDI established the Madeleine K. Albright Grant in 2005 to support organizations around the world that work to create leadership roles for women in political and civic life.
Aswat Nisaa (Women’s Voices) of Tunisia
Aswat Nisaa is an organization of Tunisian women and men created after the 2011 revolution to give women a greater role in the country’s political life and democratic transition. The group helps women develop leadership skills and advocate for public policies that address challenges facing Tunisian women, including discrimination in the workplace, unequal roles in family life, and barriers to political participation, among other topics. With the Madeleine K. Albright grant, Aswat Nisaa will help women run successfully in Tunisia’s municipal council elections expected in early 2015, and support women once they are elected to develop policies that promote equal opportunities for women in political, economic and social life.
