The project engages parliamentarians as part of the run-up and preparation for BMS8 through regional activities in Southeast Asia and Africa, where key parliamentary priorities and recommendations are identified regarding enhanced implementation of the UN PoA, the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) and 2030 Agendas.
