About the LEAP4Peace programme

The LEAP4Peace programme started in 2021 and will run until 2025. It is funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as part of the Women, Peace and Security grant instrument.

The LEAP4Peace Consortium is composed of the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy (NIMD), the Burundi Leadership Training Programme (BLTP), the Gender Equality Network (GEN) and the Action en faveur de l'égalité entre les hommes et les femmes pour la paix et la sécurité (GAPS).

The Consortium’s ultimate aim is to contribute to a conducive environment for women’s full and meaningful inclusion in political and decision-making processes, as a means of sustaining peace in Burundi, Colombia and Myanmar.

We believe that including women at the negotiation table during peacebuilding is not enough by itself. Once the conflict is over and the journey towards peace begins, countries need capable and representative women political leaders. These leaders can have a real influence on the process of building lasting peace in their country.
