Last week, EPLO held a High-Level Policy Meeting on the #WomenPeaceSecurity agenda, bringing together representatives from the @EU_FPI, @EU_Commission , the @eu_eeas , and civil society to discuss progress and next steps.
Thanks to all participants for their engagement

[EU Service for Foreign Policy Instruments 🌐 @EU_FPI]

Women’s participation, protection, & leadership are not optional — they are indispensable to advancing peace, defence & security. The Women, Peace & Security (WPS) agenda focusing on addressing the impact of conflict on women & promoting their participation in peace processes is central to how Europe must engage with the world. We continue to stand strong ensuring WPS priorities are an integral part of our engagement. This is #EUForeignPolicy in action!

The next #EUbudget will shape the EU’s global role long after 2027.
Sustained support for peacebuilding and conflict prevention is key to a resilient future.

The EU is a leader. As global aid shrinks, the EU must maintain strong external action.
Now is not the time to scale back—but to step up.

[Agency for Peacebuilding @agencypb]

Conflict prevention must be embedded in all EU🇪🇺 External Financing Instruments (EFIs).
Dedicated peacebuilding objectives and fundings are essential to avoid diversion of resources to short-term political priorities.
