Today’s #16Days reading comes from Beth Woroniuk on Resourcing CNAP3: Hallucination or a Plan with a Budget?.
Dedicated resources have long been considered a prerequisite for the successful implementation of Women, Peace and Security (WPS) national action plans (NAP). However, most WPS NAPs lack budgets and include little clarity on how NAP activities will be financed. Canadian civil society advocates have consistently highlighted the importance of dedicated budgets and resources. The final report on the 2022 consultations, organized by the WPSN-C, feeding into CNAP 3 included a recommendation on resourcing: “Dedicated funds, costing, and budgeting for all CNAP3 activities and goals are necessary.”
