During the transitional period, the SSRC will provide guidance for the establishment of the initiative’s institutional and governance arrangements and help implement a complimentary resource mobilization strategy. The Center will seek to:
(1) Strengthen research capacity in southern, conflict-affected, and transitional countries through a mentorship and writing-skills-building program for practitioners; the creation of feminist research ethics guidelines; a research planning meeting for a research and capacity-building project on militarism and women’s activism in five post-conflict countries in West Africa; an online research proposal development course; and curricula for six week-long research training institutes.
(2) Enhance southern voices in research agenda–setting through the creation of a participatory research agenda and hub; a policy and research agenda–setting workshop with national women’s funds in Asia; and a consultation in Colombia on data collection and assessment.
(3) Create new knowledge through support for a study on women’s political participation in Rwanda and a cross-regional dialogue on gender and security in the Arab and Asian regions.
