LEVERAGING UNSCR 1325 NATIONAL ACTION PLANS FOR LOCAL CHANGE
How can civil society take action to promote women’s participation, protection, and rights in conflict affected situations? Building on PeaceWomen’s National Action Plan (NAP) Development Toollkit, this research brief provides background and good practice options or modalities that civil society can draw in in the first phase of planning their NAP advocacy planning. The brief will outline different modalities of engagement, their challenges and opportunities, and suggest how women peace activists in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region can build on existing lessons learned in leveraging the Women Peace and Security (WPS) agenda for impact. Recommendations will draw on experiences from eight countries: Nepal, Philippines, Australia, Finland, Sierra Leone, Ireland, Estonia, and Nigeria.
