Description (French)
Ce projet vise à construire une société inclusive, sûre et sécuritaire pour les femmes et les filles au Ghana. Mis en œuvre par la Fondation pour la sécurité et le développement en Afrique (FOSDA), il s’inscrit dans le cadre de l’Initiative Elsie pour la participation des femmes aux opérations de paix. La FOSDA respecte le deuxième plan d’action national du Ghana (Plan d’action), qui vise à mettre en œuvre les résolutions du Conseil de sécurité des Nations Unies sur les femmes, la paix et la sécurité. Ces résolutions reconnaissent les conséquences particulières et disproportionnées des conflits armés sur les femmes et les filles. En outre, elles visent à promouvoir et à soutenir la participation active et concrète des femmes à tous les processus et organismes de prévention et de règlement des conflits. Les activités de ce projet comprennent : 1) produire des rapports annuels de suivi de la mise en œuvre du Plan d’action; 2) mettre en place le Réseau des médiatrices au Ghana; 3) organiser des ateliers de formation à l’intention des coordonnateurs pour les questions d’égalité des genres nouvellement nommés au sein des forces armées ghanéennes; 4) tenir des ateliers annuels de validation de la mise en œuvre du Plan d’action à l’intention des partenaires.
