- 1. Women Peace and Security Global Acceleration Instrument (WPS-GAI)
- 2. 1. Cost the NAP 1325 and earmark specific funding for its implementation. 2. Establish a transparent and inclusive financial management platform for NAP 1325 implementation. 3. Budgets should be reviewed from a gender equality perspective; allocations should support gender equality and be guided by human rights and social justice principles. 4. Ensure funding for all areas and all pillars of the NAP 1325. 5. Improve coordination and promote collaboration among different actors involved in NAP 1325 implementation and financing. 6. Ensure coherence across government policies for NAP 1325 implementation as well as among funding sources. 7. Donors should provide predictable, long-term, and substantial financial and other resources for NAP 1325 implementation, and channel this particularly through women’s rights groups. 8. Respect the rights and strengthen the institutional capacity of women’s human rights defenders, organizations, networks, and movements. They have been and continue to be critical to the advancement of peace and security. 9. The United Nations should finance NAP 1325 development and implementation, support information exchange, including through South-South cooperation, and fund capacity building, including in Gender Responsive Budgeting. 10. Coordinate the Formation of a NAP Financing Support Group. Recommendations from the “Financing UNSCR 1325” Cordaid and GNWP Report (2014)
- 3. Overview Despite significant progress in some areas, implementation of resolution 1325 is considered to be inadequate. In 2012-2013 only 2 per cent of aid to peace and security targeted gender equality as a principal objective. OECD-DAC data shows that women’s organizations in fragile contexts continue to lack access to sustainable funding beyond short-term project support despite their vital role in mitigating conflict and in building peace. With the 15 year review of 1325, there is increased demand for high quality technical support and programming in conflict, post- conflict and post-crisis contexts. A Women, Peace and Security Global Acceleration Instrument (WPS-GAI) is proposed to provide a funding and technical assistance resource that will accelerate implementation of 1325 and promote coherence and effectiveness at country and global
- 4. Concept •Added Value: - Funding that is accompanied by technical expertise, political support, and networking will have a much greater impact and sustainability; - Coherence and complementarity among different stakeholders, geo-political and thematic focus including the intersection between humanitarian emergencies and peace and security. The WPS-GAI is established to: 1.Rapidly respond to emerging crises, post-conflict or post-disaster 2.Facilitate women’s participation in and gender-responsiveness of conflict resolution and post-conflict processes 3.Support innovative practices in the field of women, peace and security 4.Collate, analyze and disseminate lessons learned within the WPS field 5.Support the capacity strengthening of women’s peace activists and organizations
- 5. Modalities The WPS GAI will be: Demand Driven Flexible Responsive to national priorities •Fund both government and civil society directly, complementing existing funding mechanisms (such as the PBF). Regional initiatives. •Partnerships with UN entities will also be explored based on relevance and comparative advantage in each context. •Diverse civil society actors are priority, especially women’s rights organizations, who hold intimate knowledge of women and peace and security in a respective context and are at the forefront of socially transformative WPS policies. Who to support? •Development and implementation of National and Local Action Plans (NAPs) that actively involve women’s groups and other CSOs at the national, sub- national and local levels. •Alternative mechanisms and initiatives to national implementation that actively involve women’s groups and other CSOs at the national, sub-national and local levels including Localization initiatives. • Priorities identified by local women’s organizations What to support? *** Capacity building of women’s civil society organizations will be a cross cutting priority
- 6. EXPECTED RESULTS For donor Member States, it will encourage commitment and championship on women, peace and security and provide evidence for attribution of the donor funds to results achieved, as well as increase measurability of impact. For conflict-affected Member States, it will provide support in accelerating national level implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). For civil society, it will provide access to flexible and predictable funding including an opportunity of obtaining support for capacity building and a role in decision-making over the use of financial resources for women, peace and security. For the United Nations, it will help improve efficiency and effectiveness of its work on women, peace and security, and greater outreach to local populations directly affected by conflicts.
- 7. Management • The GAI will feature a democratic governance structure, which includes civil society, the UN, governments, donors and, potentially, the private sector. •A Steering Committee / Project Board will be established comprised of Member State representatives, civil society and UN to oversee implementation and guide strategic direction. Thematic working groups will provide advise on key areas of WPS-GAI work. •UN Women will administer the WPS-GAI and ensure implementation of the decisions of the Steering Committee, and will work in line with UN Women’s Financial Rules and Regulations. • The WPS-GAI will promote transparency, harmonization, reduced transaction costs, and streamlined reporting in line with the goals of the Paris Declaration.

- OVERVIEW Mediation – mediators can provide support Negotiators – determine the content A peace agreement is often seen as akin to – or can be – setting the stage for a constitutional moment, in which a post-conflict space is opened to reshape formerly discriminatory institutions and societies, making them more inclusive and democratic. This is a significant opportunity to redress gender inequality in many areas. Rationale : Why engage women in peace talks? Normative justification: Women’s participation is a fundamental human right and can help generate greater sensitivity to neglected human rights dimensions of the conflict and recovery (18 out of 300 component accords since 1989 address SGBV) Instrumental justification: Expand the domestic constituencies engaged in peacemaking (build credibility of the process and broaden social buy-in) Bring alternative understandings of the causes of and best solutions to conflict If participation results in responses to women's needs, this can contribute to the long term social sustainability of peace process (deflect youth bulge) Women’s Presence in the negotiations Provides an important message that women have every right to participate at all levels of decision making Peace Agreements that reflects women’s rights and concerns Is the responsibility of women and men at the negotiation table Peace agreements – provide the roadmap for peacebuilding and recovery Without women’s rights and concerns sufficiently included in these agreements, women face even greater hurdles in the rebuilding and recovery process (as will be covered later in the presentation) CHALLENGES This is despite repeated calls by the Security Council in numerous WPS resolutions, by Member States in numerous statements within and outside of the SC, and the attempts by women civil society leaders and political leaders from around the world to engage in these processes. Why? Because of the nature of peace negotiations – they are often (by necessity) out of the public eye and held in secret; and are amongst the warring parties, who are not invested in bringing civilian voices into power sharing agreements – women are often excluded from the processes. It often rests on the shoulders of those facilitating the peace processes to ensure that all relevant voices are heard. (From Anne Marie’s original slide notes) “Since 2000, fewer than 10% of peace negotiators have been women, fewer than 2% of signatories have been women, and the UN has appointed no women mediators at all. In emergency funding appeals for 24 countries emerging from conflict and crises since 2006, on average less than 2% of disbursed funds targeted women’s needs (e.g. for prevention of SGBV). Economic costs of slow recovery in agrarian economies where women are primary producers, social costs where women are excluded from conflict mediation, psycho-social and medical costs where massive SGBV is not treated and prevented; and costs to efforts to reassert the rule of law where perpetrators of abuses of women's rights enjoy impunity. Women must be engaged in peace-building and recovery not only to avoid costs, not only because it contributes to peace building, but because it is a legal requirement on international security actors and institutions.”
