Global Centre for Research on Gender and Crisis Prevention and Recovery (G-CPR)

The UNDP's Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery (UNDP/BCPR) has commissioned the SSRC's Gender and Security Program to conceptualize, incubate, and make operational a new global initiative to provide intellectual leadership and strengthen research and capacity in the field of gender and security. In 2009, the program will convene three Breaking New Ground Retreats to establish G-CPR’s overall mission, research agenda, and program priorities. It will pilot a research fund and establish a Web-based research hub and an online participatory research agenda. It will also support a range of planning grants to strengthen southern research capacity.
