This is preceded by two other NAPs, adopted in 2017 for the period 2017-2022 and in 2010 for the period 2010-2016.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared to the 2017\u20132022 National Action Plan, the 2023\u20132029 Foundations for Peace introduces several changes that reflect both lessons learned and evolving global challenges. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Domestic Commitments: The 2023\u20132029 NAP includes more extensive domestic commitments than previous plans. These address emerging global issues that also have local impacts, such as the rise in climate emergencies and the increase in technology-facilitated gender-based violence. Notably, the plan specifically acknowledges threats targeting women peacebuilders and human rights defenders both in Canada and abroad.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Deeper Engagement with Indigenous Communities: <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The NAP places greater emphasis on addressing gender-based discrimination, violence, oppression, and marginalization faced by women in Canada, particularly Indigenous women, girls, Two-Spirit, and gender-diverse people. It recognizes that leadership by Indigenous women and gender-diverse individuals is essential for achieving sustainable peace and security for all.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Integration of an Intersectional Feminist Approach: <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Building on insights from previous plans, the 2023\u20132029 NAP further develops an intersectional feminist framework.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2017, Canada <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.international.gc.ca\/world-monde\/issues_development-enjeux_developpement\/priorities-priorites\/policy-politique.aspx?lang=eng\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">adopted<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a Feminist International Assistance Policy. The policy\u2019s core priority is identified as gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, with five additional supporting priorities: human dignity; growth that works for everyone; environment and climate action; inclusive governance; and peace and security.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canada is also a contributor to humanitarian aid, including being a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contributing donor to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wphfund.org\/our-donors\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women\u2019s Peace and Humanitarian Fund<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a global partnership that works to empower women in conflict zones and humanitarian crises. Canada is also a partner of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.calltoactiongbv.com\/partners\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Call to Action on Protection from Gender-Based Violence in Emergencies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a multi-stakeholder initiative that aims to mitigate and provide accountability for gender-based violence in humanitarian emergencies. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2019, Canada was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unwomen.org\/en\/partnerships\/donor-countries\/top-donors\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UN Women<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s seventh-largest other resources contributor with USD 9.6 million and the tenth-largest total government contributor with USD 14.4 million.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the multilateral level, Canada was most recently a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-53087650\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">candidate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a non-permanent position at the United Nations Security Council for the period 2021-2022, but was not

The Action Plan Advisory Group will advise the Peace and Stabilization Operations Program (PSOPs)\u2014as coordinator of the Action Plan\u2014as well as the PSOPs Advisory Board on the implementation of the Action Plan. The Group will comprise civil society experts and government officials and will be co-chaired by a PSOPs official and a representative of civil society through the Women, Peace and Security Network Canada (WPSN-C). The Group will be established within the first six months of the launch of this Action Plan.

One of the entities responsible for monitoring and evaluating the NAP is The Action Plan Advisory Group. The Group will meet regularly throughout the Action Plan\u2019s life cycle to exchange experiences and best practices, discuss challenges and develop innovative solutions related to the implementation of the Action Plan. The Group will also engage with staff from Canadian embassies abroad and women\u2019s groups\u2019 leaders to learn from experiences from the field. The Group will improve progress monitoring by means of a continuous dialogue between civil society experts and government officials who are responsible for implementing the Action Plan. WPS Champions will attend meetings as defined in the Group\u2019s terms of reference. The terms of reference will be developed jointly by the government and the WPSN-C. Monitoring will involve continuous consultation with local women\u2019s organisations that are beneficiaries of Canadian programming and advocacy.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The NAP assigns multiple bodies to monitor the implementation of the plan including the PSOPs Advisory Board, a whole-of-government forum at the Director General level, brings together departments and agencies involved in Canada\u2019s peace operations and coordinates government policy on the Action Plan and Canada\u2019s role in implementing the WPS Agenda.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>WILPF's Contributions to Canada's NAP<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WILPF's Disarmament Programme has submitted the Brief to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development on Canada\u2019s National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Timeframe<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The implementation period for the NAP is five years (2017-2022).<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Objectives\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The primary objectives of Canadian NAP include:<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increase the meaningful participation of women, women\u2019s organisations and networks in conflict prevention, conflict resolution, and post-conflict state-building.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prevent, respond to and end impunity for sexual and gender-based violence perpetrated in conflict and sexual exploitation and abuse by peacekeepers and other international personnel, including humanitarian and development staff.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Promote and protect women\u2019s and girls\u2019 human rights, gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls in fragile, conflict and post-conflict settings.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meet the specific needs of women and girls in humanitarian settings, including the upholding of their sexual rights and access to sexual and reproductive health services.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strengthen the capacity of peace operations to advance the WPS Agenda, including by deploying more women and fully embedding the WPS Agenda into CAF operations and police deployments.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><strong>Actions\/Activities<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each area of work has examples of different actions assigned. For example, Strategic Objective 2 \u201cPrevent, respond to and end impunity for sexual and gender-based violence perpetrated in conflict and sexual exploitation and abuse by peacekeepers and other international personnel, including humanitarian and development staff \u201d includes the following actions:<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strengthen gender and WPS training, including on gender-based violence, for government personnel.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each supporting partner has its own objectives, actions, and indicators.

The Champion is a General Officer who will lead efforts to achieve organisational culture change on these issues. Specifically, the Champion will advocate for and support efforts to ensure that respect and equality are the basis of institutional success and GBA+ is integrated into DND\/CAF operations and institutions so that it becomes a routine part of all activities, policies and programs across DND\/CAF.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gender Advisors: The CAF have established a Director for Integration of Gender Perspectives who will provide guidance and advice on the continued implementation of GBA +. The CAF have also established military gender advisor positions in the Strategic Joint Staff, the Canadian Joint Operations Command, and the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command. These individuals will advise on gender in operational planning and doctrine, as well as on inclusion and gender equality when working with other nations. The first CAF gender advisor is currently undergoing pre-deployment training and will be deployed to Task Force Europe in August 2017, and will work with partner nations to seek additional opportunities to deploy gender advisors (GENADS). In addition, each CAF operation now has at least one member fulfilling the role of a part-time \u201cgender focal point\u201d. Gender focal points are trained to advise the operational Commander on gender mainstreaming in a theatre of operations.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><strong>Monitoring and Evaluation<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Minister of Foreign Affairs is responsible for Canada\u2019s implementation of the international WPS Agenda and for ensuring that implementation across government is aligned with the government\u2019s foreign policy priorities.

It also states that In Geneva, Global Affairs Canada will develop a systematic approach to its efforts to mainstream WPS throughout relevant Geneva-based institutions and processes covering security, human rights, humanitarian issues, migration, health, labour, and disarmament, as well as trade and development. Its priorities will include multilateral partnerships to advance WPS, and supporting women of all ages and women\u2019s organisations from fragile and conflict-affected states to have their priorities
