| Name: | Assessing Women, Peace and Security Issues in Liberia |
| Description: |
In 2008, with funds provided by the Government of Austria, the United Nations International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women (UN-INSTRAW) supported the Liberian Government’s (GoL) Ministry of Gender and Development to develop the Liberian National Action Plan (LNAP) on Resolution 1325 to promote gender equality, women’s participation and advancement in Liberia. The development process included extensive collaboration with several UN agencies, civil society and governmental actors through a women, peace and security assessment. The mapping and assessment was designed to identify issues affecting women, peace and security and related government initiatives, awareness and capacity to address these as a means to identify baseline data that would serve as the basis for the Liberia National Action Plan. The mapping and assessment was designed to also raise awareness among government policymakers and other relevant stakeholders on women, peace and security issues, including United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 and to build capacity on how to develop and implement a national action plan on women, peace and security in the context of Liberia.
This assessment report highlights current initiatives that are being taken to address various issues. Several forward looking recommendations are proposed, notably the necessity of installing effective monitoring, evaluation and reporting processes on progress, achievements, and challenges as they arise. Additionally, the report recommends an extension of the dialogue established between civil society, the GoL and the international community during the development of the LNAP. Such involvement and dialogue can help increase the effectiveness and visibility of the efforts made towards the ultimate goal of gender equality and sustainable peace and security for Liberia.
