The N-Peace Network

We are a United Nations Development Programme flagship initiative. Currently unique to the Asia-Pacific region, N-Peace or ‘Engage for Equality, Access, Community and Empowerment’ operates in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Nepal, with the goal of implementing UNSCR 1325, and enhancing the role of women in conflict resolution and peace-building.
 
N-Peace is built on the premise that if targeted women and men are supported with increased investments in capacity and skills, they will be able to create institutional and social shifts that prioritise the inclusion and empowerment of women and girls, and ultimately change the discourse on the roles of women in peace-building.

Every year, N-Peace presents up to 19 awards to grassroots activists, prominent campaigners, up-and-coming young peace advocates, and civil society organisations.

N-Peace is made possible with the generous support of Canada.
