After the adoption by ASEAN Leaders of the first-ever Regional Plan of Action on Women Peace and Security several ASEAN Member States (AMS) including Cambodia, Thailand and Viet Nam, expressed strong interest in localizing the WPS agenda and exploring the development of a National Action Plan (NAP) on WPS which started in 2023. Indonesia finalized the monitoring and reporting framework of its second generation of its NAP on WPS with technical support from UN Women, while the Philippines adopted a new cycle of its NAP on WPS and the Regional Action Plan on WPS in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) region. The government of the Philippines published the adopted WPS policies Philippine’s 4th gen action plan on women, peace, and security launched – PeaceGovPH and its progress widely in the media. UN Women contributed significantly to developing these WPS National and local frameworks by providing technical expertise to the ASEAN Member States brokering exchange in the region and developing in partnership with ASEAN a Localisation Toolkit and Guidelines for the ASEAN Regional Plan of Action on Women, Peace and Security ( https://wps.asean.org/resources/localisation-toolkit-and-guidelines-for-the-asean-regional-plan-of-action-on-women-peace-and-security/ ) that was launched in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. This Localisation Toolkit provides technical guidance on how to facilitate the implementation of the ASEAN Regional Plan of Action on Women, Peace and Security adopted by ASEAN leaders in November 2022, by adapting its key provisions to national contexts and the steps for ASEAN Member States to develop National Action Plans on Women, Peace and Security. “Women, Peace and Security Agenda is critical for the promotion of gender equality. Advancing WPS needs more than a regional commitment. We need to develop national plans of action to ensure that the regional commitment is translated into practical actions at national and local levels. Cambodia as the lead country for the development of the ASEAN RPA on WPS and now for the WPS Localisation initiative is committed to enabling the regional commitment to become a reality for all women and girls in ASEAN,” emphasized H.E. Ing Kantha Phavi, MD, Minister of Women’s Affairs of Cambodia during the launch of the Toolkit.Disclaimer and notes
