Realizing the Women, Peace and Security Agenda Through Foreign Aid: A Comparative Analysis of Korea and Germany

The Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda has gained significant traction globally as a framework to address the disproportionate impact of conflict on women and promote their active participation in peace processes. In recent years, donor countries have expanded their efforts to contribute to the implementation of the WPS agenda through their development assistance. This chapter explores how Germany and the Republic of Korea (hereafter referred to as Korea) have responded to the current trend of integrating the WPS agenda into development cooperation by analysing their National Action Plans (NAPs) on implementing the UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on women, peace and Security.
