National Action Plan Resource Center
We’re pleased to launch an exciting platform for
advancing women’s inclusion in peace and security. The National Action Plan
Resource Center is an interactive hub for learning new
strategies and sharing analysis, tools, and lessons learned for
putting UN Security Council Resolution 1325 into practice.
With up-to-date information on the state of national action plans
(NAPs) worldwide—including news on the latest countries to adopt
NAPs—the Resource Center keeps you in the know. It showcases major
highlights, as well as in-depth analysis, about each of the
48-and-counting nations that have formally adopted inclusive
policies.
What difference can this make? Resolution 1325 is more than just a
piece of paper; it’s a global commitment to changing the lives of
women and men living in volatile areas. To showcase how this document
can translate to meaningful impact, the Resource Center presents four stories
that demonstrate how national action plans can make a difference in
people’s lives. Follow the paths of four people as they walk toward
better security for all.
The Resource Center features an extensive library of reports and
articles that shed light on how to design,
implement,
and measure the impact
of a national action plan. Whether you’re determining how best to
evaluate your existing NAP or trying to build the political will for
your country to adopt a plan, you’ll find the guidance you need.
Just getting started on your NAP journey? Take our interactive training course
to familiarize yourself with UN Security Council Resolution 1325 and
national action plans. This 30-minute module will help you understand
why NAPs are important and how you can advocate for women’s
participation in your own country.

We intend to build a community—from government, civil society, and
beyond—that shares a commitment to building stability through
inclusive policies and practices. Our vision is for this Resource
Center to build upon and share the tremendous contributions of other
pioneers. Please send us
your feedback and suggestions; together we can realize the promise of
truly inclusive security worldwide.
The National Action Plan Resource Center would not be possible
without generous support from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs. We also rely on additional partners
around the world who are generating meaningful analysis and
assembling resources on this issue, such as Peacewomen.org.
