Context
National Action Plans for the implementation of UNSCR 1325 are national-level strategy documents that outline a government’s approach and course of action for localizing action on the Women, Peace and Security Agenda. These documents outline objectives and activities that countries take, both on a domestic and international level, to secure the human rights of women and girls in conflict settings; prevent armed conflict and violence, including against women and girls; and ensure the meaningful participation of women in peace and security. By conducting this assignment, the Online Volunteer participates in creating advocacy products by using pre-existing data and analyses to design compelling knowledge products. The final products will be used to communicate on the Europe and Central Asia context regarding the Women, Peace and Security agenda based on global, regional and national datasets.
