We consider that the development of a Pacific regional action plan to support the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) would bring women into official processes and build on our efforts to integrate resolution 1325 (2000) into the regional peace and security agenda. Moreover, a Pacific regional action plan also has the potential to bring together a series of high-level regional commitments into viable national action plans, which is essential to enhancing security sector governance policies and programmes in our region and will allow us to develop tailored solutions to the challenges that our diverse nations face. Inadequate funding remains a serious challenge to the success of the national action plans.
