Project Description
The project aims to increase the use of conflict analysis and strategic assessments in the United Nations peace operations mandate renewal decisions and to strengthen the capacity of the United Nations Special Committee on Peacekeeping through field visits. Project activities include: (1) organizing analytical workshops for two United Nations peacekeeping missions with upcoming mandate renewals: Mali (MINUSMA) and South Sudan (UNMISS); and (2) developing a selection tool and deploying up to five delegates from the global south to attend the United Nations Special Committee on Peacekeeping annual visit in December 2019.
Expected Results
The expected results of this project include: (1) increased use of gender sensitive conflict analysis and strategic assessments in mandate renewal discussions; and (2) increased gender balanced participation of delegates from global south C-34 members in the annual field visit.
Progress & Results Achieved
Results achieved at the end of the project (October 2020) include: (1) improved understanding among member states on the Security Council of the emerging political and security dynamics in the UN peacekeeping mission in South Sudan and in Mali. This is done by convening 2 workshops with 54 attendees on linking conflict analysis and strategic assessments to mission designs; and (2) increased diversity of delegates participating in the annual UN special committee on peacekeeping by providing a travel bursary for Global South delegates that enabled 25% of participants came from Global South (1 woman and 4 men).
