Antecedentes

N-Peace is a multi-country network of peace advocates in Asia seeking to advance Women, Peace & Security (WPS). It supports women’s leadership for conflict prevention, resolution, and peace-building, and promotes the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 as well as the broader WPS agenda. N-Peace rests on the hypothesis that if targeted women and men are supported with increased investments in capacity and skills, they will be able to create institutional and social shifts to prioritize the inclusion and empowerment of women and girls, and change the current discourse on the roles of women in peacebuilding.

N-Peace is implemented in 7 countries in the Asa-Pacific region: Afghanistan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Nepal, the Philippines, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka. N-Peace focuses on four components (including the N-Peace Awards and advocacy through the N-Peace Awards campaign and knowledge sharing): Sustained engagement through national dialogues; Trainings and capacity building; and N-Peace Small Grants. Together, these components contribute to the achievement of the overall objectives of N-Peace: (i) to support leadership of women in building peace and preventing conflicts; and (ii) to provide a platform for engagement and increased dialogue between key actors furthering WPS and conflict prevention; (iii) to promote peace and shift the narrative of women in these contexts from victims to agents of change.

A week long programme is planned for the winners from 8-12 January which will include:

At the core of the initiative is the N-Peace Awards, first launched in 2011 to recognize and promote individuals and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), creating change from grassroots to national levels in Asia. The awards are coordinated across Afghanistan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka and the Philippines, and shine a light on the many roles women, men and communities play in their communities on women peace and security, as mediators, activists, peacebuilders and more.

The awards selection process and timeline for CSOs and individuals are as follows:
