Abstract

The signatories are proud to present this Dutch National Action Plan 1325. Drafted for the period 2012-2015, it is a continuation and an elaboration of the previous Dutch National Action Plan 1325 for the period 2008-2011. The signatories continue to commit themselves to supporting those strong women at the grassroots who have the courage to step up and become leaders in conflict mediation, resolution and reconstruction. This NAP is a collaboration between government, civil society organisations and research institutes. It has been signed by no fewer than three Dutch government ministries, four research institutions and over 30 civil society organisations. The partners’ contribution has not been limited to a signature, however. Many people have contributed to the development and writing of this plan. The NAP is thus based on many sources of knowledge and experience, and it is designed to be both ambitious and feasible. No other NAP in the world can rely on such a broad support base.
