Client

An innovative institute promoting sustainable peace and women’s leadership through effective national action plans and policies worldwide.

Background
  • UN Security Council Resolution 1325, aimed at increasing women’s involvement in peace processes, is impeded by a myriad of obstacles, including obstructive cultural mores, deep-rooted discrimination, and education level disparities.
  • Worldwide, among the few countries which have national action plans supporting UNSCR 1325, implementation is limited by lack of experience and knowledge for crafting inclusive peace structures, implementing gender-sensitive policies, and measuring the effectiveness of these structures and policies.
  • The client organized a symposium in Nairobi, Kenya, to support the 17 countries in Africa implementing UNSCR 1325 through capacity building in monitoring and evaluation of UNSCR1325 National Action Plans.
  • The client needed support moderating and facilitating the three-days of sessions with 130 participants.
Solution
  • WeekdayRx developed a thorough understanding of UNSCR1325, the delegations from Uganda and Liberia, and the client’s National Action Plan Monitoring and Evaluation Guide.
  • We successfully moderated and facilitated three days of training sessions.
  • The WeekdayRx-supported clients left the symposium energized and well-prepared to effectively implement their National Action Plans.
