WANEP-Nigeria, in partnership with the Global Network of Women Peacebuilders (GNWP) and Global Affairs Canada, is currently hosting a 2-day stakeholder review meeting focused on the localization of UNSCR 1325 and the implementation of Nigeria’s National Action Plan (NAP) on Women, Peace and Security.

The ongoing discussions bring together key stakeholders , including local government representatives, women and youth leaders, CSOs, traditional institutions, and MDAs , to:

Build shared understanding of UNSCR 1325 and NAP 1325

Review the Draft Edo State Action Plan on UNSCR 1325

Foster stronger coordination for inclusive, gender-responsive peacebuilding at the state and community levels

The localization process is not just about plans , it’s about people, ownership, and collective commitment to a more peaceful, inclusive Edo State.
