Peace and Security
Background
We are confronted with a sobering moment for the WPS agenda - with record levels of armed conflict; militarisation and increase in military spending spending; growing backlash against gender justice and the rights and bodily autonomy of women, girls and LGBTQIA+ people; funding cuts for conflict prevention, peacebuilding and gender equality; multi-pronged assaults on civil society space, human rights and on international humanitarian law, rule of law and democracy; crises of forced displacement and closed borders, of protection and hunger, all of which have disproportionate and intersecting gendered impacts, while women and other marginalized groups are systematically excluded from international decision-making and peacemaking processes. 

Nature and scope of the assignment/service
Oxfam Denmark seeks to contract a service provider to conduct the following assignment:
Strengthening WPS evidence base to inform advocacy
In light of the above context and background and with the upcoming 25th anniversary of the UNSCR 1325, Oxfam Denmark seeks to undertake a multi-country action research to develop effective strategies to inform context-tailored WPS policy advocacy work that can advance a feminist locally-led WPS agenda. This will focus particularly on exploring enabling and hindering factors as well as effective strategies to advance women’s, women’s organisations and feminist networks’ participation in peacebuilding contexts, processes and spaces.
The research findings and outputs will be targeted at actors working in policy and advocacy. Along with the service provider, Oxfam will identify spaces to disseminate the findings and outputs in order to effectively influence the reconceptualization of the WPS agenda. The project will specifically target a series of policy spaces, including the 2024 WPS Open Debate, formal and informal discussions planned around the 25th anniversary of UNSCR 1325 in 2025, UNSCR 1325 NAPs, CSW69/ Beijing +30 Commemoration in March 2025, Protection of Civilians Week (2025), as well as regional initiatives to enhance women's participation and protection in peacemaking and peacebuilding, such as the AU WPS Summit in December 2025.
