Trajectories towards Feminist Foreign Policy Research update (Consultation Draft)

In 2021, IWDA published From Seeds to Roots: Trajectories towards feminist foreign policy, looking at 5 early adopters of FFP (Sweden, France, Canada, Mexico and UK Labour’s commitment to a feminist aid policy). Since then, 10 additional countries have made a formal  committed to FFP, with nearly half in the Majority World. At the same time geopolitical events are exposing limitations, contradictions,  incoherences and lack of accountability for practicing feminist foreign policy. This has led to concerns about the concept’s overall credibility, with civil society questioning the extent to which FFP has lived up to its transformative promise.

This research is using a participatory validation approach. Interviewees and others with relevant experience of FFP are invited to provide  feedback on these emerging findings via the QR code. The final research will incorporate this feedback, with a plan to publish by the end of 2024.
