---

This briefing note contributes to the knowledge on UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security as a way of addressing women’s priorities in peacebuilding. The document discusses the need to adjust the approach to implementing the resolution in challenging contexts such as post-conflict Sierra Leone and Liberia and conflict-prone Guinea. It also outlines a comprehensive agenda for implementing Resolution 1325 in the region with three main components: women’s security needs, women's political participation, and gender equality legislation and policies. The briefing note ends with recommendations for the work on Resolution 1325 in the region: 1. Working with what exists: Engage custodians of the customary justice system. 2. Address sexual and gender-based violence: Mobilise communities through change agents. 3. Economics matters: Address the economic dimension of gender, peace and security. 4. From plans to action: Make smart investments in civil society.
