Our Work

Women, Peace & Security

Peacebuilding and women’s leadership are WPP’s institutional anchor.

Peacebuilding and women’s leadership are WPP’s institutional anchor. The organisation seeks to translate women’s informal roles in mediation, reconciliation and community resilience into recognised, resourced and accountable participation in formal and community-level processes.

WPP’s peacebuilding practice is participatory, conflict-sensitive and locally grounded. The organisation is strengthening its results evidence through documented partnerships, participation and inclusion data, outcome monitoring, learning products and verified examples of women’s influence in community and formal peacebuilding processes.
