9. During the reporting period, my Special Envoy led several initiatives to promote concerted regional and international support for dialogue and political processes, notably in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burundi, and continued to promote the participation of women in political processes across the Great Lakes region. At my Special Envoy’s initiative, following consultations with the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region and in cooperation with the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN-Women), high-level solidarity missions by women leaders representing the United Nations, the African Network of Women in Conflict Prevention and Peace Mediation (FemWise) and the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region were deployed to Burundi, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan in July and August 2018. The objective of the missions was to promote women’s concerns and participation in decision-making and in peace and political processes in the region.
