In comparison with the previous three NAPs, the fourth Action Plan is more advanced. The process of elaborating it was participatory, included the consultations and active engagement of the government agencies, relevant municipalities, women’s CSOs, and grassroots internally displaced and conflict-affected women and youth. In total, the consultation meetings engaged 110 individuals (95 per cent of whom were women). As a result, the identified needs and priorities were respectively reflected in the new NAP 1325. The current NAP is costed and budgeted and accompanied with the monitoring and evaluation framework. Funding is particularly important given that it is a vital part of turning promises on paper into actions on the ground. The budget component is indeed an advancement, as out of 105 countries having NAP on 1325, less than half of them – about 30% are accompanied with respective financial allocations.
