Women Participation in Political Leadership: Training Manual (MANUAL) 2007	A manual for female political aspirants meant to be a toolkit to strengthen their advocacy and campaign skills and media strategies. The toolkit was innovative in enhancing equitable participation in governance. The long term output would be the development of a core of empowered women to feed into the decision making process of government at all levels. Thus the Toolkit has fitted into the objective of providing a platform to consolidate and break new frontiers in the process of mobilizing women to participate in the political process.

Women Participation in Political Leadership: Training Manual (MANUAL) 2007	This Manual was specifically developed to train gender observers for the elections. However with the realization that women face double challenges in the electoral process because of their gender and because of the unequal playing field in the process which is not fair to all candidates. Hence the need to train and deploy gender observers to observe each stage of the electoral process cannot be over emphasized. The Manual provides such insight into the monitoring of the process and the elections itself.

Electronic Voter Registration: Building Confidence in the System? (REPORT) 2007	Final Report on the observation of the 2007 Voter Registration/ Revalidation exercise as observed by WEP. Here the role of the gender observer was to identify, observe, assess and report the gender concerns, perspectives and dimensions of the exercise. Our hope is that results of observations made formed the basis of enhancing political equity and participation in the electoral process in Nigeria.

2007 Elections: Who’s Mandate (REPORT) 2007	Final Report on the observation of the 2007 State and Federal Elections from a gender perspective. The gender component of the report is an innovation in itself in that this is the first time such a report is prepared on the conduct of the polls in Nigeria.
