Background

About n-peace.net

The n-peace.net website is an important element of a regional strategy to build a network of individuals and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in the Asia-Pacific region who are working on the issue of Women, Peace and Security (WPS). Practitioners from the Philippines, Indonesia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Myanmar are the main audience for this site. Stakeholders working on the WPS agenda outside of the network countries are also an audience for the portal. The N-Peace Portal is also the space through which a popular online regional campaign, the N-Peace Awards, runs annually and engages a wide audience across the network countries and globally.

N-Peace network

The N-Peace Network has expanded significantly since its inception in late 2013: the membership base has grown (i.e. 100 to over 2,400 core members; 100 to 15,300 Facebook supporters); the frequency of network activities have increased matched by an increase in interest to engage in network activities; and the quantity of information material and types of information products produced by the network has risen.
