We consistently advocated for the inclusion of women (as well as faith groups, refugees, and internally displaced people) in the peace process; and through sustained engagement (including with women’s groups in Juba and across South Sudan), we will continue to do so as implementation of the 12 September agreement proceeds. While we do not currently fund any specific women-led peace initiatives in South Sudan, we continue to ensure that women are fully represented in all CSSF funded peacebuilding activities, including the Peacebuilding Opportunities Fund, and the Conflict Early Warning and Early Response System.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin grouped question UIN 199772 question first answered 11/12/2018 17:17:57 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
