Implementation of the UN Security Council Resolutions on the Women, Peace, and Security Agenda in Africa

Free Tuition for All. Recently Updated!

While informative for any student interested in the topic, this course was specially designed for those who work in the area of peace and security at the national or regional levels in Africa and require a practical tool to support the implementation of the women, peace, and security agenda. The first three lessons broadly focus on the role the United Nations plays in promoting peace and security, highlighting the importance of employing a gender perspective in the field and the role of United Nations Security Council resolution 1325 (2000) and subsequent resolutions. Within this context, Lessons 4 and 5 highlight the challenges and priorities specific to Africa. Finally, Lesson 6 examines the role of regional and subregional organizations in facilitating the national implementation of the resolutions.

The updated edition of this course covers best practices for gender mainstreaming within a mission, recent National Action Plans across Africa, and evolving strategies for enhancing women’s meaningful political participation in the region. Six lessons, 195 pages.

This course was developed by the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) in collaboration with POTI.

Les trois premières leçons portent globalement sur le rôle que joue l'ONU dans la promotion de la paix et de la sécurité, soulignant l'importance d'employer une perspective de genre sur le terrain et le rôle de la résolution 1325 (2000) du Conseil de sécurité des Nations Unies et des résolutions ultérieures. Dans ce contexte, les Leçons 4 et 5 mettent en évidence les défis et les priorités spécifiques à l'Afrique. Enfin, la Leçon 6 examine le rôle des organisations régionales et sous-régionales dans la facilitation de la mise en œuvre nationale des résolutions.

L'édition mise à jour de ce cours couvre les meilleures pratiques pour l'intégration du genre dans une mission, les récents plans d'action nationaux à travers l'Afrique et l'évolution des stratégies pour renforcer la participation politique significative des femmes dans la région.

"Despite confronting huge problems like civil wars, resource exploitation, poverty, disease, low literary rate, colonial legacies, proxy wars and unemployment, it is heartening to note that Africa as a continent has and continues to make tremendous progress towards implementation UNSCR 1325 on WPS through various mechanisms and initiatives both at national and regional levels. A very useful and informative Course on the subject."
