BEYOND CONSULTATIONS: A tool for meaningfully engaging with women in fragile and conflict-affected states

This tool was developed by the UK Gender Action for Peace and Security (GAPS) network, Women for Women International, Amnesty International UK, Saferworld and Womankind Worldwide. Participatory research was conducted with women and women’s organisations in FCAS as well as international non-governmental organisations (INGOs), government officials and representatives of multilateral agencies. This included detailed insights from 225 women from Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Colombia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Nepal, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, Uganda, Yemen and Zimbabwe. To ensure this research project modelled good practice the tool underwent a detailed peer review and validation process.
