While informative for any student interested in the topic, this course was specially designed for those who work in the area of peace and security at the national or regional levels in Africa and require a practical tool to support the implementation of the women, peace, and security agenda. The first three lessons broadly focus on the role the United Nations plays in promoting peace and security, highlighting the importance of employing a gender perspective in the field and the role of United Nations Security Council resolution 1325 (2000) and subsequent resolutions. Within this context, Lessons 4 and 5 highlight the challenges and priorities specific to Africa. Finally, Lesson 6 examines the role of regional and subregional organizations in facilitating the national implementation of the resolutions.
The updated edition of this course covers best practices for gender mainstreaming within a mission, recent National Action Plans across Africa, and evolving strategies for enhancing women’s meaningful political participation in the region.
This course was developed by the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) in collaboration with POTI.
The Institute thanks Jennifer Wittwer, CSM, and Colonel (Retired) Jesus Ignacio Gil Ruiz for their valuable contributions to this course.
