This report is the Gender Companion to the previously published Getting from Here to There: Successful Implementation of the Global Fragility Act.

Our Secure Future, in partnership with the Alliance for Peacebuilding, the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security, and the McCain Institute, organized a series of consultations with civil society groups and officials from the US Government in July and August 2020. The goal of this series of consultations held from July through August 2020 was to review lessons learned and best practices for gender integration into programming, policy, and learning and evaluation to ensure a gendered perspective is incorporated into the GFS and the ten-year country and regional plans.

This Gender Companion contains key findings, recommendations, tools, and resources for successful WPS integration into GFA implementation.
