Step 9: Capacity Building for Members of the Task Force and FocalPersons••Lack of capacity has been identified as a major challenge to the development andimplementation of NAPs.••Sensitization and capacity building workshops and other strategic meetings prior to theformulation of a NAP can be a good way to involve different stakeholders and to ensurethat they are all on the same page with regards to the content and the elaboration ofthe plan.Step 10: Enabling Stakeholder Participation••A series of sensitization workshops should be held for stakeholder at all levels(government sectors, private organizations and CSOs) to create large scale awarenessand understanding about WPS issues so that the action plan that is put in place will beone that will truly represent and address the needs and interests of all stakeholders; thiscan help build a sense of collective ownership, teamwork and accountability.••The number of workshops/meetings will depend on:»»The level of understanding and political will to tackle WPS issues;»»The needs;»»The geographical spread/landmass of the country and in some cases the identitygroupings;»»Available resources (including human and financial Resources);.••Apart from workshops, sensitization can also be through media advocacy in which WPSissues are discussed on printed and electronic media; dissemination of BCC/IEC materials.••Whatever the means of sensitization, mechanisms should be put in place for obtainingfeedback from the stakeholders.Step 11: Defining the Contents of NAPs••NAPs should address what is specified in the WPS resolutions and local context andconcerns which will vary from one country to another.••Countries may differ in terms of context and content but most NAPs that have beendeveloped have focussed on the core pillars of the resolutions which are:»»Prevention of conflicts;»»Participation of women;»»Protection of women and girls and recently a fourth pillar;»»Prosecution;••Others, in addition to above, have addressed issues of domestic relevance such as climatechange, disarmament and human trafficking.••NAPs should include the following:16
