The panel explained how people can use the new guide, and provided clear examples of why this approach is critical for effective and strategic policy and programming. The event also marked the 20th anniversary of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 as gender-sensitive peacebuilding is an international standard in line with this landmark resolution.

Conciliation Resources and Saferworld have led international practice on gender-sensitive conflict analysis through developing and applying tools to ensure that peacebuilding practice is at minimum gender-sensitive, moving towards gender-responsive and gender-transformative – where our work addresses the underlying structural causes and factors of gender inequality.
