About the Project

Search and the National Commission for Lebanese Women (NCLW) are implementing a four-year regional program called “Women, Youth, Peace and Security” (WYPS). The program-s overall goal is to strengthen the meaningful and enduring participation of women and youth in advancing inclusive peace and security in the Levant and Yemen. To do this, the program aims to: 1) consolidate women's rights organizations- (WROs) and youth-focused/youth-led organizations- (YFOs/YLOs) strategic engagement and influence in municipal and national peace and reconciliation processes; 2) motivate key sub-national and national institutions to strengthen inclusive policies and standards facilitating inclusive youth and women-s participation in peace and security; and 3) promote shifts in social norms around women and youth-s meaningful inclusion in peace and security at all levels, including stronger alliances with men and boys.



Consultancy Summary
