The Netherlands has from the beginning put its full weight behind the implementation of 1325 and following resolutions. On 4 December 2007 the Netherlands adopted the Dutch National Action Plan (NAP) on SCR 1325, relying on a broad support base. The signatories, including the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Defence and the Interior and Kingdom Relations, civil society organisations and knowledge institutiopolitical participation, and to increase gender capacity.ns took upon themselves to jointly make a difference within the field of women, peace and security. As a result of our integrated approach - where diplomacy, defence and development are mutually reinforcing - gender has been fully incorporated in the assessment framework for Dutch contributions to peacekeeping operations. Together, we invested 23 million Euro in 2009 to support women's organizations in fragile states, to promote female leadership and to increase gender capacity.
