The UK’s third National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security was launched by the then Secretaries of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs and Defence and the Secretary of State for International Development in June 2014. This was followed in December 2014 by the first Implementation Plan for the National Action Plan which sets out in detail our approach in the six focus countries of Afghanistan, Burma, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Libya, Somalia and Syria. In the National Action Plan we undertook to report annually on our progress. This report covers our domestic work on Women, Peace and Security, in line with Pillar 5 of the National Action Plan, “Building National Capacity”; an update on our work over the last year to promote Women, Peace and Security in the various multilateral and regional organisations; and work against the four main pillars of Women, Peace and Security (Participation, Prevention, Protection and Relief and Recovery). A detailed report on our work against the specific plans for each of the focus countries is in the Annexes.
