Donor Funding and WPS Implementation

Women, Peace and Security: Towards Full Participation

This project documents the barriers to, and enablers of, implementation of the Women, Peace and Security agenda in case study countries, with particular attention to donor funding imperatives. The project will result in an activated and consolidated network of civil society actors and academics working on WPS across case study countries. Outputs include working papers, case country briefing papers, blog posts and an academic journal article.
