On April 16, 2026, the GGI Platform hosted a workshop titled The Women, Peace, and Security Agenda Beyond 25 Years: Building institutions for the future.

This workshop’s discussion surfaced the vast range of successes, lessons learned, and gaps in the WPS agenda’s first 25 years and identified priority areas for future work. Participants explored the past and future of the WPS agenda across three areas: identifying governance gaps and opportunities, mobilizing cooperation for the WPS agenda, and responding to the challenges ahead.

As part of its larger event series in collaboration with the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the GGI Platform convened experts from academia, UN bodies, civil society organizations and UN Member States. This event took place in partnership with UN Women.
