Le GNWP🟣, avec le soutien d'Affaires mondiales Canada, a réuni 47 leaders de l'Afrique centrale et occidentale lors d'une conférence régionale à propos de et à Kinshasa, en RDC.

Dans des contextes de crises prolongées —de la RDC au Soudan du Sud, du Tchad au Nigéria— les femmes et les jeunes ne sont pas seulement touchés par les conflits. Ils et elles en sont les artisan·es d'une paix durable.

✅ 47 participant·es de 6 pays (RDC, Tchad, Soudan du Sud, Nigéria, Cameroun, Côte d'Ivoire)
✅ Représentant·es de la société civile, des ministères, d'ONU Femmes et de partenaires régionaux

Au cours de ces deux journées intensives, les participant·es ont :
📍 Partagé des stratégies concrètes de localisation des agendas FPS et JPS
🗺️ Élaboré une feuille de route régionale commune pour la mise en œuvre et le financement des agendas
💪 Renforcé le leadership et la visibilité des femmes et des jeunes dans la prise de décisions politique
📣 Transformé le dialogue en plaidoyer collectif et influent

‼️ Dans une région confrontée aux conflits armés, aux chocs climatiques et à l'instabilité politique, cette conférence a réaffirmé une vérité fondamentale : une paix durable est impossible sans la participation significative des femmes et des jeunes.
