Message: [QUOTE="Queen, post: 87012, member: 27"] Ghana's peacebuilding playbook just got a major gender-focused upgrade, and the National Peace Council is making sure this one actually sticks beyond the launch event. NPC drops a new Gender Policy for peacebuilding [LIST] [*]The National Peace Council launched a Gender Policy backed by UNDP Ghana and the Canadian High Commission. [*]Governing Board Member Susan Aryeetey framed it as a hands-on commitment to building inclusive peace operations across Ghana. [*]Aryeetey pushed staff to move past talk and let gender considerations drive real, everyday decisions. [*]Mainstreaming gender into all peacebuilding work is the core objective here, with equity built into every layer. [/LIST] NPC leadership weighs in on what this actually means [LIST] [*]Executive Secretary George Amoh called the policy a milestone for Ghana's peace architecture. [*]Amoh stressed that the heavy lifting starts with figuring out how the document plays out in daily operations. [*]Everything from planning and budgeting to field engagement falls under the scope of this policy's real-world application. [/LIST] Two-day training puts the policy into practice [LIST] [*]A national training programme ran under the theme "Gender Mainstreaming towards Effective and Inclusive Peacebuilding for Sustainable Development." [*]Participants got trained on weaving gender considerations into planning and budgeting workflows. [*]Designing programs that actually reflect the lived realities of both women and men was a key focus area. [*]Building a gender-friendly workplace and locking in stronger partnerships for gender equality were also on the training agenda. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
