Women actively engage in peace-building initiatives on a community and national level, by engaging in peace negotiations, recovery efforts and strengthening community approaches to preventing SGBV and responding to the needs of survivors. 
Security Sector reforms in conflict-affected contexts create more secure environments for women by way of protection, access to justice and local reforms. 
Stronger planning, monitoring and accountability systems for SCR 1325 ensure improved implementation of SCR 1325 through increases in funding and institutional reforms to address women’s needs in conflict situations.

The programme addresses the issues of women’s empowerment for peacebuilding, security sector reform, and accountability via the following strategies:

a) Capacity-building for women’s peacebuilding initiatives.

b) Technical support for security sector reform and for indicator design and monitoring at the national and global levels.                                              

c) Partnerships with institutions that can enable women’s organizations and UN Women to maximize impact with limited resources.

d) Evidence-based advocacy channeling country-level findings to international policy-making forums such as donor conferences and to national peacebuilding processes.

Women and women’s groups have strengthened and enhanced their participation in leadership and monitoring of peace processes and other peace building/conflict prevention and post-conflict recovery processes.

Service providers  (including women and women's groups) have developed increased capacity and resources to provide adequate services to address women’s/survivors needs.

National security institutions are more aware of and committed to preventing and responding to women and girls security issues.
