The policy-research dialogue was organised by Jacqui True, Monash University and Karin Aggestam, Lund University, hosting a group of peace and mediation practitioners and scholars at the Monash University’s Centre in Prato for a dialogue on rethinking policy and practice of gender in peacemaking. The overarching aim of the policy-research dialogue was to rethink policy and practice on gender-inclusive peacemaking and generate new innovative ideas based on the extensive experience and knowledge gained over the last decade.
