The UN Peacebuilding Support Office (PBSO) commissioned this Independent Thematic Review on Gender to contribute to knowledge building and operational learning about peacebuilding practices. The Terms of Reference for the Review set out two main areas of work (Annex I). The first is an external focus to scope out in the international domain the emerging good practices in implementing what is increasingly termed ‘gender- responsive peacebuilding’. The second area focuses on the PBSO itself and the UN Peacebuilding Fund (PBF) and its efforts and potential to promote and enhance the implementation of gender-responsive peacebuilding programmes through targeted and mainstreaming approaches.
