An enabling environment for implementation of WPS commitments is created in Niger
This outcome is in line with the expected results in UNDAF-NIGER's second area, Governance Peace and Security: ''the management of development and statistical data at all levels, cross-border and community security and the judicial system are improved and guarantee human rights, with institutions capable of conducting democratic processes and local authorities capable of meeting the specific needs of the most vulnerable. In practical terms, it is a question of intervening on two complementary aspects. First, the collection of data and studies that enable the production of efficient actions. Second, institutional reinforcement to facilitate local ownership of women's needs based on Women Peace and Security Agenda’s goals.

An enabling environment for implementation of WPS commitments is created in Niger
On September 2020, Niger adopted a second-generation Resolution 1325 National Action Plan thanks to the technical and financial support of UN WOMEN through a process that evaluated the first NAP and adopted a new one. The following revision makes it possible to take into considerations the new resolutions of the Women, Peace and Security Agenda adopted since 2017; to integrate the objectives of the new National Gender Policy adopted in August 2017; as well as to take into account the international mechanism dedicated to this theme which has also evolved. In 2021, UN-WOMEN has defined with the Ministry of Women's Promotion and Protection an operationalization plan with priority activities to be carried out. Thus, the activities are divided as follows: The primary activity consisted of supporting the Ministry of Women's Promotion and Child Protection in setting up the NAP Secretariat. To this end, UN Women supported the drafting of decrees on the creation, attribution, composition and functioning of the Secretariat and its steering committee, as well as the drafting of job descriptions for their members. This led to their appointment by decree N° 000025/MPF/PE/SG/DPF/G/DL of October 26, 2021. These members benefited from capacity building on their roles in the implementation of the NAP through a retreat from July 23 to 30, 2021 in Dosso. At the same time, the financial and operational planning of the priority actions of the NAP was developed for each region of the country and at the national level. The total budget is about 33 million USD for a period of 5 years. At the end of December 2021, the Secretariat was equipped with 4 computers, 1 photocopier, 1 video projector, 1 meeting table for 12 people, 5 electronic extension cords, 6 wooden cabinets, 4 desks, 4 chairs and computer consumables necessary for its operation for at least one year. 1400 copies of the NAP and 900 copies of the financial and operational planning have been printed and will be distributed to all stakeholders. Furthermore, a national mapping of the needs and actors involved in the implementation of the WPS agenda is underway since December 2021. This mapping, carried out by a firm, will allow the establishment of a dynamic and updated database by the members of the Secretariat. An international workshop took place to share experiences on the implementation of the NAPs which took place on December 2021, under the patronage of the Minister for the Promotion of Women. Still in this dynamic of operationalization of the National Permanent Secretariat, an international workshop of experience sharing and good practices, on the implementation of the national action plan of resolution 1325. The main objective is to strengthen the capacities of the members of the National Permanent Secretariat of the National Action Plan and their regional branches through the sharing of experiences and best practices of actors who have implemented the NAP of the Women's Agenda for Peace and Security. The workshop brought together participants from Mali, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cameroon and Burkina Faso as well as participants from the eight regions of Niger. For one week, participants shared their experiences and good practices, which allowed them to mutually reinforce their capacity on the implementation of national action plans and to close with a joint declaration to decision-makers for a mobilization to take into account the gender needs of women and girls in key sectors.Disclaimer and notes
