Thematic Review on Gender-Responsive Peacebuilding 2021

The 2021 Thematic Review on Gender-Responsive Peacebuilding, commissioned by the 缅北禁地Peacebuilding Support Office (PBSO) in partnership with German Federal Foreign Office and 缅北禁地Women, maps good practices, gaps, challenges, emerging trends and priorities for action in gender-responsive peacebuilding. The Review draws on field-level consultations with women’s organizations in Guatemala, Mali, Niger, Somalia, South Sudan, and Sri Lanka; key informant interviews with policymakers, academics, and 缅北禁地staff carried out between April and June 2021; and a review of academic, practitioner and policy literature, as well as 缅北禁地Peacebuilding Fund (PBF) project documents, evaluation reports and guidance notes. The Thematic Review provides practical recommendations for policymakers, donors, the PBF and its fund recipients on:

Strengthening the language of diversity and intersectionality in Women, Peace and Security (WPS) policy discourse;
Enhancing the WPS Global Indicator Framework;
Strengthening peaceful and gender-sensitive responses to the COVID-19 pandemic;
Increasing support to women’s civil society organizations by committing to capacity building targets and providing flexible funding; and
Ensuring that rigorous monitoring and evaluation frameworks are in place, including improved metrics that go beyond ‘counting’ women and are sensitive to gendered definitions of a peacebuilding project success.
