UNIFEM is initiating globally a series of pilot projects on Early Warning Indicators in five regions as part of their work on conflict prevention and peace building. The five regions where pilots will be conducted are the Pacific, South/Central Asia, Latin America, Africa, East Asia. In the Pacific the pilot will be conducted in the Solomon Islands

Project Objectives:

To develop indicators for early warning of peace and conflict, taking into account gender issues and the experiences of women and men.

To establish a system for the collection, analysis and dissemination of gender-sensitive information on conflict and peace-building.

To create a more responsive policy and programming environment for gender-sensitive conflict prevention and by supporting the role of women and men in peace building at all levels.

Mechanisms for Implementation:

The project will involve 3 key elements:

Information collection by women and men using gender-sensitive indicators in the categories of governance, economics, land, public security and peace building.

Information analysis and dissemination, using indicators, media scans and structural data.

Communication mechanisms and feedback loops that facilitate appropriate preventative actions and peace building.

Project Partners:

The project is being implemented by UNIFEM in partnership with the National Peace Council (NPC), Solomon Islands Christian Association (SICA) and the Government of the Solomon Islands.

Objectives:

Apply a gender lens to the early warning and early response approach.

Identify indicators that reflect mens’ and womens’ experiences of building peace and reducing conflict.

Track changes in levels of conflict as perceived by all members of communities thereby, enabling more appropriate systems for response.

Establish linkages to support peace building through a more informed and responsive policy and programming environment.
