In June 2011, UNDP initiated the first “Summer University for Women in Politics” to train potential women candidates in preparing and running their electoral campaigns in Tunisia. The event was conducted in partnership with National Democratic Institute, UN Women, iKnow Politics, and the Center for Arab Women Training and Research.  Participants had the opportunity to receive training by international and national experts on how to overcome campaigning challenges, including establishing campaigning teams, collaborating with CSOs, and communicating successfully with the voters and the media. At the end, participants committed to train other women within their political parties.
