The need to acknowledge and appreciate the role played by organisations that have previously led peace programmes like the Maendeleo ya Wanawake, Mothers Union, Mothers Guild among others, was recognised. The need to have great collaboration among the Government, Parliament, Judiciary, public bodies, development partners, private sector, civil society and non-conventional partners through Government programmes and gender-based violence was also articulated.

This should be with special focus on affirmative funds, gender- based violence and access to Government procurement opportunities (AGPO).
