  • La gouvernance inclusive et le leadership féministe

  • Des réponses humanitaires et de développement transformant les rapports de genre

  • La justice climatique et environnementale intersectionnelle

  • Des approches centrées sur la guérison et la santé mentale

Women’s International Peace Centre Strategic Plan 2024-2028 (English Version))

The Strategic Plan 2024-2028 will guide the Women’s International Peace Centre over the next five years as we deepen our commitment to feminist peacebuilding and women’s leadership in conflict and post-conflict settings.

Guided by our WEAVE model and informed by years of experience, collaboration, and learning, this plan lays out strategic priorities that respond to urgent regional and global challenges with bold, transformative action.

The Plan emerges from a consultative process with partners, communities, and stakeholders, incorporating valuable insights from program reviews, evaluations, and feminist research. It focuses on systemic change through the intersection of peace, gender justice, and wellbeing, and commits to advancing:

  • Inclusive governance and feminist leadership
  • Gender-transformative humanitarian and development responses
  • Intersectional climate and environmental justice
  • Healing-centered approaches and mental health
  • Movement building and intergenerational knowledge sharing

From Exclusion To Influence: Sudanese Women’s Struggle For Meaningful Participation In Peace Processes.

How can sustainable peace be achieved without the voices of the women who have led, endured and rebuilt through conflict? For decades, Sudanese women have been at the forefront of movements for justice, freedom, and democracy—yet they continue to be excluded from the very peace processes that will shape their country’s future.

This knowledge pack sheds light on their leadership, the systemic barriers they face, and the urgent actions needed to ensure their full, equal, and meaningful participation in all aspects of peace and security. It is both a testament to their resilience and a roadmap for inclusive peace.

Implementing the Maputo Protocol Towards the Women, Peace and Security Agenda

Parallel Session at the Maputo Protocol @20 Anniversary, Nairobi – Kenya Dates: 11 July 2023

Women’s International Peace Centre in collaboration with Oxfam International convened a parallel session at the 20th anniversary commemoration of the ground-breaking AU Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa (Maputo Protocol). The objectives of the event were twofold. First, the session provided a unique platform for civil society organisations (CSOs) to examine the progress, challenges and opportunities in the implementation of the Maputo Protocol, with a particular focus on Article 10 on the Right to Peace and Article 11 on the Protection of Women in Armed Conflict.

Secondly, the session underscored the importance of advancing the Women, Peace and Security Agenda within the SOAWR[1] coalition considering recent crises, such as the Sudan conflict which has vividly demonstrated how women comprise the highest proportion of marginalised individuals exposed to conflict-related sexual violence and various forms of gender-based violence. The session sought to shed light on these pressing issues, reiterating their critical nature and pushing for the inclusion of the WPS Agenda at the top tier of the SOAWR coalition’s agenda.

This report provides a summary of the perspectives and insights shared during the meeting, identifying common trends across Kenya, South Sudan, Sudan and at the regional level and highlights recommendations for collectively advancing women’s peace and security in Africa.
