Integrating feminist principles in policy design and implementation, including in foreign policy is emerging as a new frontier for gender responsive governance globally. 2024 marks a decade since the first Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP) was adopted by a government, a move that has been replicated by at least ten other countries since then. Existing FFP frameworks vary significantly in scope and in coverage, focusing on country-specific priority fields such as diplomacy, development cooperation, trade, climate, peace, security and gender responsive institutional reforms among others.
At the multilateral level, FFP advocacy is increasing through member state led informal groups such as the FFP+ Group in New York which Liberia is an allied member. Advocacy efforts spearheaded by this group culminated in the first FFP political declaration during the High-Level Week of the 78th Session of the United Nations General Assembly. In the political declaration, signatory members, including Liberia reaffirm the commitment of their governments to take feminist, intersectional and gender-transformative approaches to their foreign policies, based on mainstreaming gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls in all their diversity, taking into account the multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination to which they may be subjected, in close cooperation with feminist civil society and movements.
Against this backdrop, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Liberia (MFA) has committed to undertake a Gender Equality Assessment to audit the extent to which equality is effectively institutionalized in the organizational culture, policies, programmes, structures, processes, practices (including decision-making processes) and in the corresponding budgets of the ministry. The gender equality assessment will be the first step in Liberia’s journey towards the adoption and implementation of a Feminist Foreign Policy, in consultation with relevant ministries, departments and agency and in coordination with the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection.
Specifically, the gender equality assessment will aim to:
The main outcome of the gender assessment will be an assessment report that includes a clearly defined roadmap of implementing the recommended actions, stemming from the assessment findings.
