Drawing on information gathered through interviews with key actors in Burundi and Nepal, this report goes beyond merely numerical aspects of women’s participation in decision‐making, revealing both progress made and the obstacles that remain for women’s effective participation in post-conflict political processes. By identifying cross‐cutting issues in Burundi and Nepal, the report also presents general lessons about the prospects and problems of increasing women’s political participation, which lay the ground for a set of recommendations for how national and international actors may support and promote women’s participation in post‐conflict political decision‐making both in Burundi and Nepal and in other similar cases.
