The specific objectives of the event are:
- To present the key findings of the research study on women's participation in post-conflict economic recovery and reconstruction and share experiences of women's initiatives from different geographic regions;
- To discuss existing and promising practices for better recognizing, measuring and documenting women's contributions; and
- To reflect on action-oriented recommendations that bolster women's role in economic and post-conflict recovery and promote their active engagement in decision-making spaces.
Women-led initiatives in peacebuilding and sustaining peace strengthen communities and build social, political and economic resilience to conflict and violence. They are an essential part of an inclusive, sustainable and gender-responsive recovery from conflict and other crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
Organized by the Global Network of Women Peacebuilders (GNWP), Permanent Missions of Austria, the Republic of Korea and Sierra Leone to the UN, the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC), UN Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs (DPPA) and UN Women
