Resource guide: Gender and conflict in Africa
August 2005
USAID
USAID AFR recognizes that policy is one of the main instruments for creating lasting changes. Therefore, the creation of a new and innovative gender policy with specific guidance on gender and conflict to guide AFR and influence its organizational culture and practices is vital. When equipped with the requisite skills and expertise on gender issues in conflict/post-conflict societies, AFR can more
readily advance livelihoods and human rights to safe and conflict-free societies African women and men deserve.
Management Systems International, Inc. was given the following scope of work under the Africa Bureau Gender and Conflict Research Project to help attain this goal:
“…conduct state of the art research on Gender, Conflict and Peace-building in Africa. Document case studies of best practices and approaches to assessing the gendered dimensions of armed
conflict, post-conflict societies, peace negotiations, and other related issues such as gender-based violence (war and post-war). Special focus on DDRR (disarmament, demobilization, reintegration, and repatriation), HIV/AIDS, multi-sectoral approaches to conflict prevention…and rehabilitation in post conflict societies is desired. Participatory and regional approaches, as well as best practices of merging traditional and modern techniques of African conflict resolution should be documented, accent on women’s roles….”
