The mandate for the UN Regional Office in Central Africa is set to be renewed. Given the ongoing challenges in the region, gender should explicitly be stated as a cross-cutting component across all areas of its work, and further, the Council should encourage the provision of all necessary resources to ensure full implementation of the mission’s mandate. In its support for subregional mediation and conflict prevention initiatives, UNOCA should ensure women and women’s organizations are active participants, with particular outreach to displaced women and girls.
