Abstract

In times of multiple security crises and increased threats to women’s rights across the world, the need for a commitment to an active implementation of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Agenda is ever more pressing. The Czech Republic’s upcoming third National Action Plan on WPS represents an opportunity to further advance WPS into domestic and foreign policies and practices while reflecting on the shifting geopolitical circumstances at local, regional and global levels. Although the Czech WPS Agenda is now well institutionalized, it needs first and foremost a higher political priority which would be linked to budget allocation, and more localization, as well as a transformative and in-depth engagement in its implementation, monitoring and evaluation.

Each of the four pillars of the NAP – participation, gender mainstreaming, prevention and protection, and relief and recovery – should mainstream crosscutting issues of intersectionality, localization, leadership, budget allocation and qualitative monitoring and evaluation. These are much needed steps along with the renewing of the position of a Special Commissioner for Gender, which could support the Czech regional WPS leadership and effective responses to the gendered impacts of Russia’s war in Ukraine, including through the lens of long-term conflict prevention.
