This report provides gender-specific analysis that builds on findings provided in a Joint Analysis of Conflict and Stability (JACS) covering the Pacific region, which was recently commissioned by the UK Office for Conflict, Stabilisation and Mediation (OCSM). The countries included in the initial JACS analysis were Papua New Guinea (PNG), Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. This exercise aims to deepen the existing analysis and provide recommendations for the sub-region of the South West Pacific which includes PNG and the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Tonga and Fiji.
