Institution Building
Strong institutions are integral to any government, particularly one emerging from violent conflict. The process of institution-building occurs at national and local levels, cutting across sectors and themes of governance. It is important for women to participate in ministries, commissions and offices — not only as administrative staff, but also as decision makers. Given the multitude of post-conflict tasks tackled by national institutions, women’s presence is vital to ensuring that transitional governments address women’s needs and concerns.
