In its consideration of the report on the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), the Council should request information on the implementation of the WPS elements in the mandate as per SCR 2227 (OPs. 14 & 23), including gender as a crosscutting issue in MINUSMA and promoting women’s participation in the implementation of peace processes. Efforts to track and measure progress in Mali should include gender specific benchmarks and analysis, and women’s empowerment should be factored into funding disbursement and post-conflict reconstruction efforts.
