It finds that that NATO has made progress in implementing the WPS Agenda, even though there is ample room for improvement. Since the assessment in 2016, small steps have been taken, but the process has to a certain extent been slowed down by the vacancy in the Special Representative of the Secretary General position. NATO now has a robust platform from which to advance the agenda. However, if the Allies and Partners fail to provide sufficient support and resources – both financial and personnel – the positive developments can easily backlash. The main impediments to the progress of the Action Plan are the limited leadership and lack of knowledge of how to integrate a gender perspective in the daily work of the Alliance. However, this dilemma is shared by other international organisations, and great political determination and leadership are demanded in order to achieve gender mainstreaming across the organisation and move the Women, Peace and Security agenda forward.

Although several preconditions for a successful implementation exist, there is still a long way to go to ensure the full implementation of the resolution.
MINUSMA needs to improve the gender balance among its military staff, increase troop awareness of UNSCR 1325 in the Malian context, and include the provisions of protection and participation of women in the planning and conduct of military operations.

Secondly, MSB cannot influence how other agencies integrate gender equality or train their staff. Thirdly, there are no concrete methods and tools to integrate gender perspectives in the conferences.

" När Sveriges rödgröna regering tillträdde efter riksdagsvalet 2014 deklarerade den stolt att den skulle föra en feministisk utrikespolitik. Utrikesminister Margot Wallström skapade med denna nya politik rubriker som nådde långt utanför Sverige. Samtidigt var det många som undrade vad den egentligen gick ut på. I detta nummer av Världspolitikens Dagsfrågor beskrivs hur den svenska feministiska utrikespolitiken kan ses som en del av en lång tradition där frågor kring jämställdhet och kvinnors rättigheter har fått en allt större roll. Forskaren Helene Lackenbauer visar bland annat hur dagens svenska utrikespolitik i viss mån har hittat inspiration från USA, framför allt från tankar som väcktes under Hillary Clintons tid som amerikansk utrikesminister. Skriften ger också konkreta exempel, bland annat från Mali, på hur en feministisk utrikespolitik kan användas för att bidra till en mer hållbar fred efter konflikter. Helene Lackenbauer forskar om genus i säkerhetspolitik och krishantering.

The overwhelming result of this study is that its respondents are in unanimous agreement that the root causes of the violent conflict in Mali are marginalization and discrimination. The conflict is nurtured by the pervasive stratification between almost all groups in the society. The cleavages run between geographic locations, genders, ethnic groups, generations and classes, and enables hierarchies between those that dominate and those that are dominated. Marginality serves as a place of resistance for many groups, also northern women since many of them have grievances that are linked to their limited access to public services and human rights. For these women, marginality is a site of resistance that motivates them to mobilise men to take up arms against an unwilling government. The Islamists have exploited the vacuum left behind by the absent government,
through their provision of services such as health care and employment. They have also used the stratification between social classes to gain the support of impoverished communities and offer some sort of social mobility to both poor women and men.
