Welcome to our new web pages, designed to reflect the fact that the Women Building Peace Campaign has developed into the Gender & Peacebuilding Programme (G&PB).

The main aim of the programme is to ensure that gender perspectives and practical realities inform the implementation of gender aware international, regional and national peace, security and development policies in order to protect human rights and promote sustainable peace through gender equality of men and women.

You may have been used to navigating the Women Building Peace site. All those pages can be found on this site under the Women Building Peace toolbar, as well as information on the present activities and future plans of the G&PB.

If you have any feedback, please email Ancil Adrian-Paul, Programme Manager. Your comments are very welcome.
