This consultation offers an opportunity to share good practices and lessons learned; assess progress on recommendations made; and identify priorities where there has been little or uneven progress, to promote women’s participation in peacebuilding efforts further and to strengthen the PBC’s convening, bridge and advisory role in this area.
