National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security

Dear all,

I attended USAID’s civil society consultation session of the US Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security this week. The plan is in response to UN Security Council Resolution 1325 that “link women’s experiences of conflict to the maintenance of international peace and security”. 20+ countries have already developed their own pans and the US is in the process of formulating its own, both on the national level and implementation at the individual government agency levels. This effort is spear-headed by USAID along with State and coordinated by the White House. The overview of the plan is attached in the PPT for your reference and a statement from civil society supporting the plan. The plan will include budget allocations and specific M&E indicators, which is promising.

Please let me know if you have any questions, I’ll try my best to answer, and refer you to the literature on the subject.

Thanks,

Clare
