Based on today's outputs, the forum is a success! You were able to accomplish the objectives. Congratulations! What comes next? For the ways forward: The best move is to monitor and report on the implementation of this initiative. Monitor how effectively General Recommendations 30 is implemented and how responsive are the efforts to the issues raised by women and girls affected by the conflict. There's a need to identify specific gaps in the implementation followed by assessing certain measures for narrowing the gaps. We can address these by creating strong partnership among civil society organizations, actively engaging stakeholders from concerned government agencies and different sectors within society, and holding government officials accountable for their actions. All of us have roles to play in this regard especially in the promotion aspect. In conclusion, the deliberations have laid the groundwork for the ways forward. I would like to thank you all for your active and meaningful participation. Thanks to the organizers, the CGEWHR headed by its energetic and informed OIC, Atty. Twyla, the resource speakers, the discussants and the secretariat for the hard work. In closing, I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to all the participants, for your valuable contributions to the success of this workshop. Thank you for your attention and wish you a safe travel home. References: Women, Peace and Security in the ASEAN-Policy Forum Global Forum on Wornen, Peace and Security, U.S. CSWG Page 59​ of 62
