Join us for the first open event in the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) Regional Learning Series at 4 PM UTC this Thursday, April 30. The Leaders of Africa Institute works across international development fields where peace, security, and gender justice are essential foundations for sustainable development and effective public service delivery (e.g., public health). In support of the peacebuilding efforts of the African Union and the United Nations, the Institute is supporting this regional learning series hosted by the South Africa WPS Practitioners Coalition, a member of the FemWise-Africa Network accredited by the African Union.

In this session, "Unpacking WPS in the Southern African Region," we will examine key challenges and practical solutions shaping peace and security in the region, with broader lessons for Africa and beyond.
