Background to and general context of the GIZ toolkit<\/strong>
\nIn 2000, the landmark UN Security Council Resolution 1325 (UNSCR 1325) on Women, Peace and
\nSecurity called for the increased participation of women in peace processes and in all peacebuildingrelated
\nactivities. To implement UNSCR 1325, the UN Secretary called upon all UN member states to
\ndevelop national actions plans (NAPs) outlining specific lines of national activity.
\nAs of February 2013, nearly 40 such NAPs have been put in place. One of these is the German
\nGovernment\u2019s NAP, published in December 2012, that makes UNSCR 1325 a cross-cutting issue for
\nGerman foreign defence and development policy (Bundesregierung 2012, p. 2) and aims to provide a
\ncoherent and comprehensive approach and strategy for implementing UNSCR 1325.
\nThe main focus of the German NAP is the participation of women in crisis prevention, peacemaking
\nand peacebuilding. Its four main aims are:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Increased involvement of women in national,regional and international institutions and
\nmechanisms aimed at preventing and managing conflicts;
\n\u2022 A high awareness level regarding gender-specific issues among staff participating in conflict
\nprevention, conflict management and post-conflict peacebuilding;
\n\u2022 Heightened and appropriate attention to gender perspectives and the participation of women in
\nthe negotiation and implementation of peace agreements;
\n\u2022 Heightened and appropriate attention to the needs of women in the planning and carrying out
\nof disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration activities (DDR)<\/p>\n

With regard to gender-based violence (GBV), the German NAP targets the:
\n\u2022 effective protection of women and girls from human rights violations;
\n\u2022 effective protection of women and girls from gender-based violence during violent conflicts;
\n\u2022 effective prosecution of gender-based violence against women and girls.
\nThe German NAP stresses civil society\u2019s role in developing and implementing the NAP. It also refers
\nto and supports initiatives that bring men on board with combating and rejecting gender-based
\nviolence (Bundesregierung 2012, pp. 3 and 7).<\/p>\n
