2)
3)
1)
Identify existing areas of need and propose a programme of strategies to address these needs in gender, peace and development in the Caribbean.
Identify potential partners from the research community, the public, private and NGOs sectors and development agencies who can collaborate in addressing the needs.
The project was implemented in two parts:
An exploratory study of the organizations, programmes and research being done and completed on Gender, Peace and Development in the Caribbean.
This study was coordinated by Dr. Gwendoline Williams and administered by the Centre for Gender and Development Studies (CGDS) of the University of the West Indies on behalf of UNESCO. Two teams from the St. Augustine and Mona Campuses of the University of the West Indies conducted the research. The members of the teams were Mr. Tracy Hackshaw and Ms. Gabrielle Henderson from St. Augustine Campus and Ms. Shakira Maxwell and Ms. Nicola Smith from Mona Campus. Ms. Olatz Landa, a Basque Volunteer with the UNESCO Kingston Office also functioned as a member of the Mona Team.
The teams were led by a project management team comprising Dr. Rhoda Reddock and Dr. Kamala Kempadoo, Heads of the Centre for Gender and Development Studies at St. Augustine and Mona respectively, and Mrs. Claudia De Four, Head of the West Indian Division, UWI Main Library (St. Augustine) who provided documentary support.

Report of the UNESCO Gender, Peace and Development Workshop
Day One-Tuesday 18th September, 2001 Opening Ceremony The workshop opened with a small ceremony chaired by Dr. Claudia Harvey, the UNESCO Regional Representative to the Northern Caribbean. Dr. Harvey chaired on behalf of Dr. Rhoda Reddock, Head, the Centre for Gender and Development Studies.1 Present at the head table were Dr. Bhoendradatt Tewarie, Principal of the St. Augustine campus, Dr. Gwendoline Williams, Project Co-ordinator, and Ms.Eunice Smith, Programme Assistant, Women and Culture of Peace Unit, UNESCO Headquarters, Paris. Unfortunately, the tragic circumstances of September 11th in the United States affected the proceedings of the workshop in unforseen ways. The feature speaker, Dr. Michael Kaufman, founder and co-chair of the White Ribbon Campaign, the largest effort in the world of men working to end violence against women, and international consultant in gender studies, had to cancel his engagement . However, it would be remiss if this report did not formally acknowledge the efforts of Dr. Kaufman and the staff of the UWI Campus Information Technology Services and Distance Education Departments to facilitate a presentation by tele-conference for the occasion. Appendix III contains the transcript of the taped contents of a shortened version of his speech. Approximately 60 persons attended the ceremony comprising representatives from a wide cross section of society. Representatives included officials of UNESCO, UNIFEM, UNDP, ILO, Amnesty International, senior management of the University, academic staff, students, members of the private sector, NGOs and representatives of women’s organisations . The programme for the evening consisted of opening remarks by Dr. Harvey, a welcome address by the Campus Principal, Dr. Tewarie, remarks by Ms Eunice Smith of UNESCO and a synopsis of the research project by Dr. Williams, the project coordinator. An invocation dance was performed by Ms. Crystal Chaitram, a secondary school student, and student of the Nirtanjali Dance Theatre and two steelpan musical solos, performed by Mr. Mikhail Salcedo, student of the Centre for Creative and Festival Creative Arts, UWI, St. Augustine. In her opening remarks, Dr. Harvey introduced the project, identifying its importance in today’s society and apologised for the change in programme. Dr. Tewarie in his opening remarks indicated that this was his first welcome address in a forum of this nature since assuming his new role as Principal. He thanked those in attendance for taking the time to attend the ceremony and for participating in the workshop. He described the workshop as of great significance especially in light of the 1 Dr. Reddock did attend the opening ceremony but did not feel able to chair the session because of the recent death of her father.

recent events of September 11th and the possibility of war given the terrorist attacks in the United States. He noted the irony of welcoming the participants to a workshop on peace and development against such a backdrop of violence. He noted that the workshop was a culmination of a regional research project sponsored by UNESCO, and applauded the organisation for its pioneering and relevant work and for involving the University, through the Centre for Gender and Development Studies in the project. Ms. Eunice Smith in her address on “Gender Socialization and a Culture of Peace” conveyed greetings on behalf of UNESCO Headquarters, Paris. She gave a brief background to the project locating it within the wider UNESCO Programme on Women and a Culture of Peace. As the initiator of the Caribbean aspect of this programme she described the research project which preceded the workshop, as an exploratory one and as important for the Caribbean region. She described the Women and a Culture of Peace Programme, citing similar workshops which had been held in Asia and Africa. She expressed thanks to the researchers and commended the team for their dedication and hard work. Dr. Williams in her delivery presented a summary of the research results indicating that this project was ground breaking and presented an enormous undertaking. She outlined the methodology used in the research stage of the project and explained that there were two separate teams, one covering the Northern Caribbean and the other the Southern Caribbean. The two reports were then combined to produce one Final Report document for the workshop, of which an abbreviated version, a working paper, was circulated to participants prior to the workshop. She outlined the main issues and recommendations arising out of the research. She commended the researchers in particular for their achievements, in spite of limited finances, in what was a difficult task in a previously unresearched area.

Day 2 Wednesday 19th September, 2001 Format and Structure of Workshop The workshop was structured to facilitate active involvement with the process and interaction among participants. The format included research presentations, panel discussions, general discussions and responses and working groups. Dr. Gwendoline Williams acted as workshop facilitator. The programme began with an icebreaking session led by Dr. Williams. Participants were asked to write, then share, their expectations of the workshop. They were asked why they chose to attend the workshop, what they thought would make the workshop successful and to agree on some ground rules on the way the participants should relate to each other. Session 1: Presentation of Research Process and Research Findings Background to the Project Presenters: Ms. Eunice Smith and Dr. Claudia Harvey Ms. Smith and Dr. Harvey, outlined the background to the project and the rationale for developing such a project in the Caribbean. They expressed their keen desire for the programme and their expectations for the outcome at the end of the workshop. Presentation of Research Findings Dr. Williams then gave a presentation on the issues arising from the research. This was followed by a general discussion with questions being directed to the researchers on various aspects of the research. The discussion highlighted the massive undertaking of the research and the tremendous interest it generated among the participants. Panel Discussion – Responses to the Research Findings A panel discussion entitled “Responses to the Research Findings” followed after the break for lunch. Panelists included Dr. Innette Cambridge, lecturer, Social Work and former coordinator of the Trinidad and Tobago Peace Centre, Mr. Jerome Teelucksingh, M. Phil Student, UWI and founder of ARTOM (Association for the Re-orientation and Transformation of Masculinity), Mr. Gregory Sloane-Seale, YMCA, Youth Outreach Programme and Ms. Rowena Kalloo, of the Anti-Corporal Punishment Campaign, Women Working for Social Progress(Working Women). The panelists gave their perspectives on the research findings from the view point of their activities. They fielded questions from the audience and were able to provoke intense debate among participants. Task Setting in Small groups: the Way Forward The last session of the first day ‘‘Task setting in small groups: the way forward” ended with a discussion and task setting for the following day. At the end of this session, the planning committee met to discuss the structure, goals and activities for the second day as well as to discuss the events of the day.

Day 3 Thursday 20th September, 2001 Session 2: Engendering A Culture of Peace for Development Review of Day 1 The programme for the second day began with a review of Day 1 then participants were organized into four working groups with the task of developing strategies for implementing a programme on Gender, Peace and Development for the Caribbean region. Some participants who attended day one did not attend day two for various reasons, but there were also a few participants who arrived for the second day only. Session 3: The Way Forward: Towards a Programme of Gender, Peace and Development in the Caribbean. Presentations and Proposals by Groups Participants worked in their small groups through the morning session then regrouped. In this session, participants made their group presentations and proposals on the way forward, followed by a lengthy discussion on the proposals. Participants were asked to indicate their support and commitment to the programme by filling in a form designed for that purpose. Most participants expressed their personal or their organization’s interest in being a partner in this process. Summary of Proceedings and Closing Ceremony The evening ended with a summary of the day’s proceedings by Dr. Williams and a small closing ceremony with the presentation of gifts to the researchers.

Report of the UNESCO Gender, Peace and Development Workshop
Workshop Evaluation
Participants’ Responses
Participants were asked to complete an evaluation form which was used to gauge the impact of the workshop on the participants. Participants were asked to identify their expectations for the workshop, which sessions were most useful and to comment generally on the workshop. Overall, participants felt that the objectives of the workshop were met and that it was very informative and participatory. Most participants expressed a willingness to be part of follow-up activities and /or to see a programme of activities developed based on the discussions in the workshop. Three persons expected to acquire an increased knowledge of the concepts of gender, peace and development and the way in which they can be operationalised, as well as the overall effort in the Caribbean region. One person expected a discussion on the issue of race and the way it relates to Gender, Peace and Development in the region. Three participants stated that they expected to develop a framework of activities for promoting gender, peace and development and a culture of peace in the Caribbean. Most of the participants agreed that their expectations of the workshop had been met. Two participants indicated that their expectations were partially met, while one person (who expected a discussion on race in relation to gender and development) indicated her expectation was not met. Most of the participants felt that all the sessions were useful since they were interconnected. One person felt that they were all useful but expressed the view that there needed to be more deliberate attempts to think critically about constructs and strategies since these were necessary for successful implementation. Three felt that the working group session was most useful. One person stated that the working group session was least useful since participants were asked to devise strategies based on a report in which fundamental conclusions were questionable. Participants were asked to give suggestions and comments on the workshop. Some of the responses were:
• Very informative, peaceful • Keep in touch with the participants and develop a plan of action that the partners
will be responsible for implementing • Enjoyed the lively and informed discussions and the comments and interchange in
the plenary sessions • I look forward to the revised version and the sharing of the final document

Report of the UNESCO Gender, Peace and Development Workshop
• Need more male voices/participation • Need to study the revised research report before endorsing it • More concrete recommendations in the working document
One participant commented that the workshop offered a start to incorporating gender sensitivity to discussions of peace and development but identified the need to address concrete issues such as:
• Institutional capacity to keep efforts going • Strategies for mainstreaming gender planning into the public budget process • More media involvement and community participation and • Incorporating gender into building partnerships with the private sector
In determining whether any aspects of the workshop could have been organized differently, one participant felt that the workshop should have preceded the research project to enable better input on crucial issues of methodology and definitions, and that the full report should have been circulated prior to the workshop. One identified that the session ‘The Way Forward’ could have been organized differently. One participant felt that given the magnitude and scope of the issues it would have been useful to have another day with more in-depth analysis. Three participants felt that more people could have attended. Most participants felt that the objectives of the workshop had been met. One participant felt the objectives were not met, and two participants felt that the objectives were partially met. The participants raised several issues during the course of the workshop. Some of the most pressing issues focused on the need to:
- Engage in on-going dialogue on peace, gender and development – indeed further
discussion is needed for defining the terms “peace” and “gender” for the Caribbean. Moreover, participants felt that it was especially important that in the discourse, gender should not be interpreted as exclusive of threatening to men.
- Engage in on-going research of gender, peace and development, particularly to obtain
more empirical data. - Ensure that strategies for research should be analytic to determine what is and also
why and include perspectives to drive action.
- Ensure that strategies/interventions for gender, peace and development would be balanced towards women and men. In addition, strategies/interventions should see men and women as non-homogenous groups.
10
Report of the UNESCO Gender, Peace and Development Workshop
- Mobilise greater resources to introduce/expand gender and peace efforts. Moreover, ongoing support was needed to ensure that existing, successful programmes can be replicated to benefit more persons over time.
Participants indicated that they were pleased with the workshop in general. There was a tremendous amount of praise for the work of the young professionals who conducted the exploratory study. Participants indicated that the work demonstrated that there was substantial capacity within the Caribbean to carry on gender, peace and development work. The majority of the participants indicated a willingness to be partners in furthering the programme of Gender, Peace and Development in the Caribbean.
Participants also expressed satisfaction with the opportunity to learn more about gender, peace and the work of UNESCO.
