The one-day discussion targeted participants from the  State Ministry of Gender, Child and Social Welfare, State Ministry of Peace Building, women from faith-based, women associations, women-led organizations, women from media, and women from political parties. The meeting focused on unpacking the Women’s Peace and Security (WPS) agenda and how women can be strategically enough to Champaign the advocacy for the implementation of the South Sudan National Action Plan (NAP) on #UNSCR 1325. 

The Director General, of the State Ministry of Peace Building, Angelina Anthony Uku, appreciated CSCOV and SIHA for supporting women in Wau in pushing for the  #WPS agenda.
