The Network of Local Elected Women of Africa (REFELA) comprises more than 30 national chapters on the African continent and aims to effectively bring gender equality issues and the empowerment of women and girls to the level of local authorities, accelerate the inclusion of the gender dimension in public policies and development plans of cities and territories, and improve women's access to local and regional authorities for greater female representation in decision-making.
