Report Summary

In 2022, the Global Network of Women Peacebuilders (GNWP) provided special¬ized training for 48 women mediators and civil society members in Armenia, Georgia and Moldova to strengthen their networks. In Cauca, Colombia, GNWP organized meetings with local authorities, women peacebuilders, United Nations representatives, and the Territorial Peace Council to discuss the implementation of the peace agreement, includ¬ing gender provisions, with the FARC-EP.In support of the inclusion of marginalized and underrepresented groups, GNWP convened refugee women and youth at the Bangladeshi-Southeast Asia Peace Exchange and the Thailand-Myanmar Peace Dialogue, providing them with a platform to present their priorities and recommendations to policymakers and interna¬tional CSOs. To promote the increasing the influence and resource base of local women’s organizations, in Ukraine GNWP collaborated with local women’s CSOs in Khersonska and Zaporhizhia oblasts to provide non-earmarked support for locally led humanitarian initia¬tives in response to the conflict. The International civil society Action Network (ICAN) and the GNWP both noted the publication of the paper, Fund Us Like You Want Us To Win: Feminist Solutions for More Impactful Financing for Peacebuilding in 2021, which documents the need to reverse the upward trajectory in military spending and instead direct it towards local women-led peacebuilding organizations.
During the reporting period, civil society Signatories focused on removing barriers to funding for youth-led organizations and young women peacebuilders. In 2022, GNWP and the Institute for War & Peace Reporting (IWPR) organized a regional conference in Tbilisi that included a fundraising workshop tailored to organizations serving women, youth and LGBTQI+ organizations in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Moldova. In Asia, GNWP hosted two regional exchanges – the Bangladeshi-Southeast Asia Peace Exchange and the Thailand-Myanmar Peace Dialogue – to foster partnership and solidar¬ity on WPS and YPS. Refugee women and youth participated in these exchanges allowing them to present their needs and priorities to policymakers and international CSOs. In the DRC, GNWP and its Young Women Leaders for Peace Network joined the Ministry of Youth, Initiation to New Citizenship and National Cohesion to launch a YPS NAP. GNWP provided technical support throughout the drafting process and with its youth partners began a pilot for the localization of the YPS resolutions, ensuring their effective implementation.
