Integrating gender in the DNA of peacebuilding: Learning with peers

This report is the result of an effort to bring together gender experts from peacebuilding organisations, led by Conciliation Resources in the UK and CMI - Martti Ahtisaari Peace Foundation, a Finnish peacebuilding organisation, to share experiences in gender mainstreaming within their respective organisations. Saferworld took part in a series of round tables and interviews contributing to the report alongside 12 other peacebuilding organisations. 
Presented at Geneva Peace Week 2021, the report shows the collected learning that emerged from the peer learning group and provides key insights into what successful gender integration requires: a commitment from the leadership embedded in the organisation’s strategy and an alignment of internal practices so that efforts to integrate a gender lens at the programmatic level are not undermined by gender-blind structures.
