UNDP and the Ministry of Women and Social Affairs (MoWSA) organised a one-day national-level policy dialogue in July 2022 to provide a platform for key stakeholders to examine the current context, challenges, and opportunities to enhance women’s engagement in peacebuilding and reconciliation in Ethiopia. 

The policy dialogue, held under the theme An Integrated Approach to Amplifying the Voices of Women in Peacebuilding and Reconciliation in Ethiopia, sought to ensure that the new Ethiopian National Women Policy currently under development considers provisions for enhancing the role of women in peacebuilding and reconciliation.

The national policy dialogue brought together key stakeholders from relevant federal and regional stakeholders, public authorities and policymakers, CSOs, and women groups, including the national technical and steering committees established to revise the national policy on women.
