Iraq was the first country in the Middle East to adopt a National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security.

Project activities include: (1) conducting an assessment of the current environment, including the level of receptivity and commitment among key stakeholders; (2) identifying key points of entry, including within government ministries and civil society; (3) providing materials and tools to key stakeholders in support of the drafting process; and (4) developing recommendations on next steps.

Program Purpose:
The Peace and Stabilization Operations Program (PSOPs) is an integral component of the Government of Canada’s toolbox to prevent and respond to conflicts and crises abroad. It supports rapid, effective, whole-of-government coordinated responses to a wide range of challenges and serves as a valuable instrument for supporting stability in conflict-affected regions. PSOPs provides visible and concrete assistance in response to conflicts and crises abroad through targeted programming, the deployment of Canadian police officers (in partnership with Public Safety Canada and the RCMP) and civilian personnel, and direct support to the UN and multilateral peace operations, conflict prevention, mediation, and peacebuilding efforts.
