1. the formation of the agenda at the UN Security Council and its diffusion across the UN system;
2. the implementation of the agenda at the national level, primarily through the development and adoption of National Action Plans (NAPs); and
3. the advocacy of civil society organisations related to the WPS agenda both within countries and transnationally.
This website presents our analysis of the NAPs that have been collected and/or translated so far, in an interactive visual display. The NAPs are also available to download here, along with open-access reports on the project’s key findings.
