Published: Sunday, June 23, 2013

The Mid-Term Progress Report of the Implementation of Ireland's National Action Plan for UNSCR 1325, 2011-2014, the UN Special Council Resolution on Women, Peace and Security, was presented to the Tánaiste in early June by Liz McManus, Chairperson of the Monitoring Group for the National Action Plan.  The report was also received by the President on 12 June at Aras An Uachtarain.

The report provides a snapshot of progress made against stated objectives and actions within Ireland's National Action Plan on UNSCR 1325. It reveals that the implementation of the National Action Plan (NAP) is at an early stage of development and the emerging findings from the review reveal a variety of achievements and challenges, some significant strengths as well as weaknesses in the delivery of the NAP over the last 18 months.

The report makes a number of recommendations for strengthening the implementation of the current NAP and further recommendations to be considered in the development phase of the next NAP.
