Philippines: first Asian country to adopt a NAP and allocate monies from its own governmental funds dedicated to the promotion of gender equality using gender budgeting to identify existing resources.

Netherlands: good example of how partnerships between civil society and government can stimulate funding commitments and facilitate coordinated funding for implementation of 1325

Sierra Leone: demonstrates how connecting strong civil society across state borders can be critical in forming a national policy. Also a good example in how government and CSOs can collaborate to raise external funds.

Local ownership and transparency improve the effective use of resources;

The number of actors and varying objectives make effective financing for 1325 complex;

Assessment, reporting and data collection mechanisms need resources;

The private sector’s involvement is at its nascent stage, with a CSR framework that has not integrated the guiding policy and principle of the WPS agenda

Evaluations on short-, medium- and long-term impact are needed

While some NAPs have an internal focus, others depend on external funding to implement 1325 nationally;

Most countries do not earmark specific 1325 resources;

Local CSOs are crucial for the implementation of 1325, but often lack funding;

Most NAPs are too ambitious and do not contain sufficient resources for appropriate M&E.

Encourage & support local ownership of national action plans & alternative mechanisms for SCR 1325 implementation.

Establish a transparent & inclusive financial management platform for 1325 implementation composed of donors, government, CSOs, private sector & multilateral organizations (UN).

Improve coordination & collaboration among different actors involved in women & peace and security advocacy, programming

 

Explore partnership with the private sector; develop a comprehensive CSR framework on women and peace and security.

Review military and other government budgets and identify windows upon which 1325 implementation could be funded. Gender budgeting across government ministries must also be explored.

Recognize and enhance civil society’s capacity to generate and manage financial resources dedicated to 1325 implementation.

Conduct a comprehensive and accurate assessment of needs, resources and capacities; plan and mobilize resources accordingly.

  Allocate adequate resources for

independent monitoring and evaluation of 1325 implementation and other women, peace and security initiatives.
