The aim of this project is to strengthen the role of women and young people in peace processes and in all decision-making processes by increasing their involvement in civil society in the implementation of the Women, Peace and Security Agenda (WPS) and the NAP in Italy, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, and Tunisia.
