Planning for Action on Women and Peace and Security

This report reviews different approaches to the implementation of international Women, Peace and Security frameworks, focusing particularly on UN Security Council Resolution 1325, which reaffirms the important role of women in the prevention and resolution of conflicts. It focuses on how the resolution can be incorporated into concrete policy guidelines and programmatic initiatives, and highlights good practices and lessons learnt over the last decades. It is expected that the information and examples contained in the review will support and advance the formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of more and stronger Women, Peace and Security action plans that will turn Resolution 1325 into a living reality to improve the situation of women affected by conflict.
