Key Findings
• As of early 2023, 31 countries out of 101 have estimated the amount of money required to implement WPS NAP activities. Available information does not illuminate whether these funds are secured.
• More than 50 WPS NAPs out of 101 mention that a budget is needed to implement WPS activities, but do not include specification of funding.
• The majority of WPS NAPs with budget estimates identify responsible parties for activity implementation, including ministries and/or government institutions, predominantly related to foreign affairs and gender equality.
