We are currently conducting field consultations for a National Action Plan on Security Council resolution 1325 (2000) and 1820 (2008) in various regions of the Philippines. These consultations will culminate in a national consultation in Manila on 19 October 2009. The Philippine Action Plan on resolutions 1325 (2000) and 1820 (2008) will be the blueprint that various stakeholders will use to ensure that women are able to participate meaningfully in all peace processes and in decision-making on peace and security issues in both the formal and the informal realms.
