This background paper was developed by Inclusive Peace in the context of the Global Convening “Gender-Inclusive Peace Processes: Strengthening Women’s Meaningful Participation through Constituency Building” (7-27 July 2021), organized by UN Women in partnership with CMI – Martti Ahtisaari Peace Foundation.

The paper considers a number of strategies through which representatives included within a peace process can build and nurture constituencies. It also highlights the challenges actors may face in building constituencies during peace processes.


The conference is made possible through a long-term collaboration with and financial support from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) in cooperation with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
