In 2017, the United States passed the Women, Peace, and Security Act to advance the position of women as agents of change in conflict and developing nations. After the US government released a strategy to implement this law in 2019, several federal agencies — including the Department of State, the Department of Defense, and the Agency for International Development — began to coordinate and develop plans to execute the strategy. As departments prepare to reveal their plans this summer, many questions remain. What will these plans achieve? How will we measure success? How will new initiatives be funded? And, most importantly, what will change?

Mackenzie Eaglen will host a panel of experts to address these questions and discuss how various federal departments crafted their plans to advance the Women, Peace, and Security Strategy.
