Held in Dar es Salaam, the Tanzania Civil Society Forum on Women, Peace and Security brought together diverse stakeholders, including civil society organizations, government representatives, women peacebuilders, youth, and development partners, to discuss how the Action Plan can become more meaningful and better localized to serve women, communities, and their needs.
Speaking at the forum, Global Peace Foundation (GPF) Tanzania Country Director Adv. Hussein Sengu called for moving beyond policy commitments toward practical, coordinated efforts that improve the lives of women and girls. He stressed, “Women are not merely victims of conflict or insecurity but peacebuilders, leaders, and agents of social change whose knowledge and lived experiences must inform peace and security processes.”
The call closely reflects GPF’s approach to peacebuilding through empowered women, peaceful families, and grassroots leadership. Through initiatives that support women’s leadership, mediation training, family strengthening, and community action, GPF Tanzania is helping demonstrate how peacebuilding can move from policy frameworks into everyday relationships and local solutions.
