Interpretation available in English, French, Spanish, Russian

Since its launch in July 2021 during the Generation Equality Forum, the Compact on Women, Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action (WPS-HA Compact) has galvanized support as a multi-stakeholder, intergenerational movement for accelerated and transformative action on women, peace and security and gender-responsive humanitarian action, with more than 180 Signatories. Together with incoming WPS-HA Compact Board Co-Chairs, Norway and the Global Network of Women Peacebuilders (GNWP), WPS-HA Compact Signatories will gather on October 21, 2022 alongside potential Signatories and WPS practitioners from around the globe to:

• Discuss the bold and transformative action that is needed to address current challenges faced by women and girls in conflict and crisis situations across the globe.
• Launch the Compact Monitoring Framework (CMF) indicators, jointly developed with Compact Board and Catalytic members and Signatories.
• Introduce the CMF self-reporting portal, which will inform the Compact’s first accountability report in 2023.
