Taking a gender, development and human rights perspective:
We take a gender perspective when working on peace and security issues and consider that gender relations and gendered identities impact on the processes of prevention and resolution of conflict, peace building and reconstruction after violent conflict. Empowering women through agricultural production and micro loan.
Using a gender perspective is a strategy for making women's, as well as men's, concerns and experiences integral to the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programmes in all political, economic and societal spheres, so that women and men benefit equally.
The ultimate goal is to achieve gender equality and sustainable peace.
