Project Description:

In 2020, Zambia participated in the DCAF Measuring Opportunities for Women in Peace Operations (MOWIP) pilot program, resulting in a report that identified good practices and areas for improvement within the ZPS.

With a current strength of 20,285 officers, 29.6% of whom are women, the ZPS aims to increase the deployment of women peacekeepers from its current level of 5 (20%) as per October 31st, 2023. This aligns with Zambia’s National Constitution and gender policies, which call for 50% representation of women in all public and private bodies. The ZPS is seeking funding through the Enhanced Integrated Framework to support this goal of increasing women’s participation in UN peace operations.
