CSAG Working Paper on National Action Plans, Regional Action Plans, and Twinning on Women, Peace, and Security

The content of this paper is based on information drawn from experiences of the Civil Society Advisory Group to the UN on Women, Peace and Security, unpublished reports from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as Femmes Africa Solidarité, national and regional action plans and policies that are publically available, as well as UN reports. Some of the recommendations are derived from the Increasing Momentum for UNSCR 1325 National Action Plans Meeting Report, which summarizes recommendations from a meeting between prominent UN, government, and civil society leaders held in New York, NY on April 24, 2009, convened by Swanee Hunt and Mary Robinson.

This Working Paper on Advancing National Action Plans (NAPs), Regional Action Plans, and Twinning on Women, Peace, and Security does not attempt to conduct a detailed and comprehensive assessment of all NAPs that have been enacted. Instead, it
will survey a few NAPs to identify some general trends in content and development and implementation processes. The phenomenon of “twinning” or “cross-learning” where two or more countries support each other in developing NAPs will be examined, as well as regional and sub-regional action plans for advancing UNSCR 1325 and related resolutions.
