The Commissioner, Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development, Plateau State, Hon. Caroline Panglang Dafur has appointed Da Gyang Dudu Dalyop as member Women, Peace and Security (WPS) 3rd State Action Plan Implementation Committee (SAPIC). This SAP Implementation Committee is aimed at advancing gender equality, Peace building and inclusive security in the state, and it’s expected to run from 23rd October 2025 to 31st December 2029.
The SAP serves as the primary multi-stakeholder platform responsible for coordinating, implementing, monitoring, and reporting on the 3rd State Action Plan on Women , Peace, and Security (WPS) in Plateau State.
This development is in conformity with the United Nation Security Council Council Resolution (UNSCR 1325), a landmark resolution from 2,000 that links women’s experiences in conflict to the maintenance of international peace and security. It calls for the equal and full participation of women in peace processes, acknowledges the disproportionate impact of conflict on women and girls, and stresses the need to protect women from gender – based violence in conflict zones. This resolution initiated the broader Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda, which has been expanded by subsequent resolutions.
Key aspects of UNSCR 1325 include; participation, protection, conflict prevention and resolution and implementation.
This appointment is no doubt a recognition of Da Gyang Dudu Dalyop giant strides and monumental impact in shaping and creating an enduring roadmap for the activities of the WPS structure through one of its networks, HeForShe which he serves as state co-ordinator.
This appointment will see the team show strong support and commitment in the implementation and monitoring of the SAP in HeForShe sector, contribute data, insights, and reports on WPS related interventions, promote collaboration and institutional alignment with the SAP and LAP and finally champion the mainstreaming of gender and WPS principles in state and community development initiatives.
