On 29 October 2025, during the Paris Peace Forum and as part of the partnership with the AFD Group, Expertise France, Proparco and AFD will organise a session at the Musée de l'Homme in Paris to explore the levers for sustainable peace through financial inclusion, women's leadership and local governance, based on United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 ‘Women, Peace and Security’ (WPS).
On the occasion of the 8th edition of the Paris Peace Forum, the AFD Group will host a session entitled ‘Rethinking Investment in Peace and Security through a Feminist Lens’, in partnership with committed activists from the Middle East and Africa.
This session, moderated by Jérémie Pellet, CEO of Expertise France, will highlight three key drivers of inclusive peace: access to economic resources, women's political leadership, and alignment between local initiatives and international public policies.
Three speakers will share their experiences on the field:
- Hanadi Tutunji (Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation), on financial inclusion as a lever for resilience;
- Suzan Aref (Women Empowerment Organisation, Iraq), on institutionalising the FPS agenda;
- Nafissatou Idé Sadou (FAD NGO, Niger), on rebuilding community governance in a crisis context.
This session will highlight that women in crisis and conflict zones are not only beneficiaries of cooperation, but also key players in economic, social and political transformation. It will also illustrate the AFD Group's commitment, through its tools (Minka Fund, FSOF, Expertise France), to inclusive peace driven by civil society.
