Observations and Recommendations This report highlights some notable progress on gender mainstreaming in peacekeeping operations delivered by UNMIL in Liberia between 2003 and 2009. Facilitated by UNMIL and the Office of the Gender Advisor, alongside national and international partners, a number of forward leaning best practices have been successful for mainstreaming gender across sectors in post conflict in Liberia. Described in the preceeding six chapters, they include: • active and expanded involvement of women in the DDRR process; • dynamic recruitment for involving women in security sector infrastructure; • capacity development of NGOs and Government institutions for engaging in advocacy and policy making; • nationwide and coordinated initiatives to address SGBV; • positive role modeling by civilian, police and military female peacekeepers; • widespread grassroots mobilization of women as voters and candidates in national elections. 55
