Policy
- I would like to share with you some activities that we will carry out in implementing Canada’s Action Plan. We will:

- develop training modules which address prevention and protection issues from the women, peace and security agenda for Government of Canada personnel being deployed to peace operations, fragile states or conflict-affected situations; and
- identify Canadian specialists with expertise in women, peace and security issues, who may be called upon to support future peace operations, including peace processes
