Research had been undertaken to identify the reasons for the lack of participation by women in decision-making, and two projects were also under way to strengthen gender mainstreaming at local level; it was hoped that some progress would be seen in the elections in autumn 2008.
已开展了研究缺少妇女参与决策的原因，并正在进行两个项目，在地方加强社会性别主流化;希望2008年秋季选举会取得一些进步。
