| 10:30 – 12:00 | Working Group Window A and B – Towards Meaningful Inclusion across Regions Key questions 1. What are good practices from the region that enabled you to include a gender perspective in SALW control and make the link to the WPS agenda (i.e. normative/policy, practical)? 2. When, how and by who were they institutionalized, implemented, monitored and evaluated? What are the biggest hurdles to institutionalization of gender mainstreaming? How should these be included in regional arms control processes (Roadmap 2024, CARICOM, and West Africa)? Are there ways we could use GENSAC to close these gaps? 3. How can we improve the implementation, monitoring and measuring of progress? What would be the useful examples of (key performance) indicators that we should develop? | |
