The project "Connecting the Dots: Enhancing implementation of the UN PoA and the Women, Peace & Security and 2030 Agendas – through increased parliamentary engagement and action in international processes" is implemented by the Parliamentary Forum on Small Arms and Light Weapons (PF-SALW) with funding from UNSCAR and Sweden. It aims to increase parliamentary engagement, participation  and action in the implementation of UNSCRs on WPS in combination with advancing the implementation of the PoA and the 2030 Agenda for SALW control. The project will identify parliamentary priorities and recommendations through a series of regional seminars, building on PFSALW’s previously elaborated Parliamentary Action Plans (PAPs) with updates on contextual aspects and in relation to WPS. Subsequent follow up on actions will be made, with specific focus on selected country cases. As women parliamentarians continue to be overlooked in relation to WPS, the project includes strengthened efforts to enhance their meaningful involvement and engagement including the run-up to BMS 7 on the PoA in 2021, where the PAPs will provide input to and underpin impact at BMS 7 and related processes. Parliamentary cooperation and involvement in these processes, as recognised in the outcome document of RevCon3, underlines the relevance of the efforts to improve parliamentary ownership of the aforementioned instruments as political will is crucial for implementation synergies with Agenda 2030
