Historique

In war-torn countries, women are often at the forefront of peacebuilding efforts, yet their contributions have been greatly undervalued. From 1992 to 2011 only 9% of negotiators at peace talks were women. Despite fifteen years since the passing of the UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security (WPS), its implementation remains challenging. The resolution’s 15 year anniversary presents an opportunity to increase commitment to progressing the WPS agenda and bridging the gap that exists between policy and reality.

Founded in 2010 N-Peace (Engage for Peace, Equality, Access, Community and Empowerment) operates in Myanmar, Pakistan, the Philippines, Nepal, Afghanistan and Indonesia.

N-Peace has two key objectives: (i) to support and promote the leadership of women as peace builders; and (ii) to provide a platform for engagement and dialogue between different stakeholders to promote the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda and broader conflict prevention and peace building goals. The network (which comprises of over 2,300 practitioners from throughout the region) promotes women’s rights, security and wellbeing through partnerships with governments, civil society, media and businesses.

N-Peace activities on the ground include:

Training and empowering women with skills and knowledge to make a real impact and change in their countries’ peace processes and implementation of the WPS agenda;
Giving them access to influence key decision makers through national and regional dialogue forums;
Connecting and supporting women leaders to function as a coalition through virtual and face-to-face networking and knowledge sharing;
Recognizing and celebrating women’s leadership for peace through the N-Peace awards campaign.

The 15 year anniversary of the UNSCR 1325 presents great opportunity for UNDP to showcase the work it has been able to achieve in the region, as well as garner further support for its second phase activities of N-Peace. Thus there are various events and trainings that will be organized through the N-Peace initiative through September-December 2015.

The scope of the work includes, but is not limited to, the following activities:

Support the implementation of the knowledge management and communications strategy for the work on WPS;
Support research and planning for new work on WPS and women’s political participation;
Support the preparation and delivery of the N-Peace Training of Mobilizers in September 2015;
