to community members, NGOs created sustainable results for participatory and diverse civil society networks to enhance the role of women and girls. Another key to success was reliance on multi-stakeholder relationships to monitor and respond to problems in the process. Relying on NGO networks, UNMIL could be extremely responsive to problems as they arose, creating innovative and creative solutions and implementing through partners on the ground. For example, OGA staff highlighted a scenario in which women were not able to leave work at the market to register to vote. <strong>In</strong> response, OGA worked with the MoGD and local NGOs to carry out a market-level campaign, which meant providing assistance in the form of staffing for their stalls, thereby freeing them to go register or to vote. The plan was an innovative and creative result of partnering on local-level issues. “They [women] benefited more than other elections because it was their own methodology, and it was one that had a great impact for the dissemination of the information we wanted to get across.” NEC Chairwoman Elizabeth Nelson A third key to the success was the recognition of critical entry points within the system, including main electoral structures. This process promoted greater sustainability for the overall mission and made the effects visible even after the election. All work could not take place in the NGO sector, as connecting NGOs with the larger legislative machinery at work in the elections was extremely important to their success. At the policy level, the OGA worked to influence those bodies responsible for the elections, actively attending and advocating within institutional bodies, including the National Elections Commission, UNMIL’s Elections Committee, and the National Transitional Legislative Assembly. 52
Results were also the product of consistency and advocacy within the Electoral Advisory Division of UNMIL, suggesting that special measures should be taken to advance the role of women as candidates, to continue to call for a level playing field, and to provide technical advice and expertise for engaging women at all levels of the process. 53
