Description:

This project aims to increase gender balance across United Nations (UN) operations. Based on the findings of the Global Study on Implementation of Security Council resolution 1325 (UNSCR 1325), it is critical that dedicated technical capacity on gender equality and women’s participation and leadership is placed at the center of current UN peace and security reform efforts. This project supports the placement of a Senior Gender Advisor from UN Women to the Executive Office of the Secretary General. The Senior Gender Advisor‘s role is to inform processes of planning, analysis and policy at the highest levels of the UN to promote the integration of gender equality within the organization and its operations.

Program:

Peace and Stabilization Operations

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.
