Inclusive and Gender-responsive Approaches
Through our collaborative project with UN Women, “Enhancing Women’s Leadership for Sustainable Peace in Fragile Contexts in the MENA Region,” we aim to advance inclusive and gender-responsive approaches to peace and political transition. Inclusive Peace has been involved in extensive research over the course of two years with the aim of exploring effective strategies for enhancing inclusivity and gender-responsiveness in order to foster sustainable and inclusive outcomes.
Ultimately, this research initiative resulted in a series of publications including a research report, a policy brief, and four research papers that comprise this comprehensive collection. A summary of our findings and recommendations is outlined in these publications.
