Synthesis Report Gender Practices and Policies in a Fragile Setting

The Peace, Security and Development Network (PSDN), including the working group ‘Gender and Conflict’ (WGC), started its work in 2009 under the Millennium Accords concluded by the Dutch government and Dutch societal organisations. The
PSDN aimed at the integrated deployment of knowledge, expertise and funds to facilitate poverty reduction in fragile states that generally lag seriously behind in their attainment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

The present brief synthesis report is nearly completely compiled on the basis of the existing WGC publications and other WGC outputs, and quotes extensively from those sources.
