Project description:
Armed Forces
The Sierra Leone Armed Forces (RSLAF) will conduct a comprehensive barrier assessment on the RSLAF using the DCAF – Geneva Centre for Security Sector Governance Measuring Opportunities for Women in Peace Operations (MOWIP) Barrier Assessment Methodology, with the outcome being the expanded knowledge of barriers to deployment of uniformed women in the RSLAF. By implementing a MOWIP assessment, this project will:
- provide a comprehensive set of issue areas within the RSLAF that could be improved to increase women’s meaningful participation in UN peace operations;
- identify RSLAF’s good practices that could be further leveraged more broadly;
- measure the importance of issue areas identified to increase women’s meaningful participation in the RSLAF; and
- determine the differential impact of each issue area within the RSLAF.
