Description and results
Description
This project aims to improve the effectiveness of United Nations (UN) operations to protect civilians, particularly women and girls, in fragile and conflict-affected states, by providing decision makers with evidence based knowledge on gender and peacekeeping. The project works to collect, analyse, and distill the contributions made by uniformed women in peacekeeping operations that have influenced peacekeeping mandate outcomes. The UN and Troop and Police Contributing Countries (TPCCs) aim to use this information to make improved gender equality informed decisions, with respect to increasing the number of women in peace operations, and creating a receptive environment for women in uniform. Project activities include: (1) conducting extensive and in-depth academic research to gather and analyse information on operational effectiveness; (2) organizing field visits and interviews with key stakeholders; and (3) providing advocacy and sensitisation activities.
Expected results
The expected outcome for this project is the production of comprehensive research and analytical reports on operational effectiveness, and a series of advocacy and sensitisation activities.
Results achieved
Results achieved as of December 2021 include: (1) increased the body of knowledge available for evidence-based decisions affecting unformed women in peace operations; (2) produced a background paper and literature review of more than 130 sources focusing on peacekeeping effectiveness and female peacekeepers; (3) produced three case study reports for three missions in Cyprus, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Lebanon; and (4) produced and distributed a final research paper and policy note on gendered impacts on the operational effectiveness of the United Nations Peace Operations to policymakers and practitioners.
