However, after two years of experience, problems with its implementation rose, particularly financial difficulties and lack of coordination (pg. 8). Therefore, the second NAP (2021-2023) was modified based on this experience, to overcome these challenges and ensure implementation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, the NAP outlines a framework based on 4 pillars: 1) Coordination, financing, monitoring-evaluation, and popularization of 1325: a mechanism for more effective implementation; 2) Prevention and protection of girls and women: to prevent all forms of violence against women of all ages; 3) Participation: to ensure the participation and representation of women in politics, fight political violence and preserve the gains in favor of women and girls; 4) Recovery and reconstruction: promote economic empowerment of women as a contributor to peace and stability, considering the needs of women and girls, particularly those from vulnerable groups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were significant changes from the first NAP to the most recent, including:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creation of mechanisms to fight sexual and gender-based violence against women, including prevention, protection, reparations, and comprehensive care in urban and rural areas.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mechanisms for the coordination and monitoring of the NAP include key ministries, development partners, civil society, new and specific executive bodies, a communication unit, and an M&amp;E committee.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A clearer system that assigns responsibilities and monitoring actions for the operation of the NAP, including a capacity-building program for actors at all levels.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A strengthened commitment of civil society to organize and advocate for actions in favor of the defense of women\u2019s rights.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column

women, The Ministry for the Promotion of Women and the Integration of Women in Development plays a critical role; it is in charge of the coordination among all the actors involved in the NAP and must ensure the implementation of the plan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>Development<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the development of the Republic of Congo\u2019s NAP, participatory consultations were organized, and more than 40 people in public administration, civil society, political parties, and religious denominations worked together to discuss the strategic axes of the NAP and all its related activities.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, an updating workshop was held to critically analyze the current situation of women with regards to political representation and participation in decision-making positions. This workshop was attended by 70 people who represented national institutions, key ministries, civil society organizations working with women and youth, religious denominations, and United Nations personnel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>Implementation<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different actors are responsible for the implementation of the NAP at the national, regional, and local levels. The implementation process is led by the Steering Committee, which is the coordination and decision-making body chaired by the Prime Minister. The Steering Committee is composed of representatives of the ministries related to human rights and gender-based violence in particular, including education, health, defense, finance, social affairs, and women. It is responsible for the mobilization of the resources, the examination and validation of the reports, and the half-yearly and annual work plans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The National Coordinating Committee is led by the Ministry for the Promotion of Women and the Integration of Women to Development and is an executive body within the Steering Committee. It is responsible for ensuring that a gender perspective is considered in all national policies. It includes representatives of CSOs who support the implementation of the NAP, and is assisted by a Technical Secretariat and experts on data collection, information, education and communication, communication for behavior change, support and decision making, and survivors and perpetrators of violence.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Departmental Coordination is ensured by the Prefect, and assisted by the Departmental Director for the Advancement of Women; it has the same attributes as the National Coordinating Committee at a reduced level and meets three times per year. It is composed of the Mayor of the urban community, the Departmental directors of the ministries, members of the Steering Committee, CSOs representatives in the Department, and technical and financial partners.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are also UNSCR1325 Units, which are chaired by the Heads of Districts and the Administrators and Mayors of the arrondissements and are in charge of the NAP implementation at the district and commune level. They have the same attributes and composition as the Departmental Coordination mechanism at a more reduced level, and meet every month.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Monitoring and Evaluation\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The National Coordinating Committee\u2019s Technical Secretariat, headed by a Gender Focal Point, is responsible for monitoring and evaluation of the NAP. This process will include assessment of the annual workplans at the national, sectoraal, departmental, municipal, and district levels, and is designed to ensure that further adjustments can be made if necessary to ensure implementation.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Civil Society<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the text of the Republic of Congo\u2019s NAP,\u00a0 the participation of civil society organizations at all levels is promoted, and the NAP reports that civil society was part of the participatory consultations and the updating workshop. In addition, the NAP recognizes the need to empower women and girls to participate in civil society and public life and advocates for the creation of CSOs working on women and girls' rights, particularly regarding the WPS agenda. Therefore, in line with axis no. 1, the NAP outlines an activity for the creation of a permanent Executive Secretariat from CSOs to work with the Ministry for the Promotion of Women and the Integration of Women in Development in the monitoring of the implementation of the NAP and UNSCR 1325 (2000) in the Republic of Congo. In addition, this Executive Secretariat will help enable information exchange and collaboration between CSOs, as well as training on WPS. <\/span><\/p>                                            <\/div>\n                \n                    <div class=\"clearfix inactive\">\n                                                    <div id=\"panel5\" class=\"content active\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The timeframe for the implementation of the NAP is set for the fourth quarter of 2021 until December 2023.<\/span><\/div>                                            <\/div>\n                \n                    <div class=\"clearfix inactive\">\n                                                    <div id=\"panel3\" class=\"content active\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Republic of Congo\u2019s NAP is organized through five strategic axes, under which different actions are outlined.
