In March 2022 the country achieved gender parity in Government, thus becoming one of the 14 countries in the world with gender parity and the third country in Africa to have 50% or more women in ministerial positions. In addition to participation in Government, women are well represented in other decision-making bodies, for example in the Parliament with a percentage of 42%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Theoretically, the rise of women in decision-making positions and bodies is expected to be reflected in the quality of services for women, hence the following key question: <em>has the increase in women\u2019s participation in decision-making bodies been accompanied by an improvement in the provision of services for women<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This paper is a case study of maternal and child health services.
