UN Women's Peace & Humanitarian Fund: Discussion
Ms Breifn? Flanagan:
To answer the question on how a country such as Ireland can provide support and what it can do, it is to continue to be a leader on this. It is not only about funding but also about advocacy. Ireland is in many places where it can speak and have its voice heard to advocate for the support of local women's civil society organisations which, as we have seen, garner long-term results. They know best the needs of their communities. It is best for Ireland to make these connections and showcase the importance of supporting organisations such as the UN Women's Peace & Humanitarian Fund.
