During the five-day training programme, participants from various professional backgrounds worked on topics such as:
• Gender mainstreaming,
• Gender roles and power structures within the local context,
• Normative and legal frameworks and the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda,
• Vulnerable groups in conflict and conflict-related gender-based violence,
• The gender dimension in human trafficking,
• The gender dimension in the climate-security nexus,
• Gender mainstreaming in Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) missions,
• Experiences from international missions and operations, including the roles of gender and protection advisers and gender focal points in peace operations, and

The overall objective of the training was to enhance operational effectiveness by equipping participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively incorporate a gender perspective in CSDP and international missions and operations.
