The APRM has focused its on long term strategies to build enabling conditions for peace as well as short term interventions where violence is imminent. In fact, it is in these areas that APRM has been acclaimed as having diagnostic value as an early warning system. By listening to diverse social groups, communities and political actors, APRM has been able to detect areas of structural violence that require immediate or longer term interventions. In the review of South Africa and Kenya for example, the APRM picked up indications of tension and of pending and actual violence in both countries that were communicated to various stakeholders. Strategies that focus on preventing the immediate outbreak of violence and managing structural governance deficits that build up to violence are critical. Gender responsive early warning systems and gender analyses that include women and gender issues as part of early warning efforts are recommended the UN.209 In their various roles of preserving ‘social order’210 and as primary care givers and in their domestic roles, women can gather significant information on social unrest and provide critical inputs into information gathering and conflict early warning systems. As such, a gender-blind early warning system is of little value in the detection gender violence. All regions and most countries have developed early warning systems for conflict with different capabilities and focus but not all have integrated gender aspects in these systems. Women’s inclusion in peace processes is not limited to the negotiation table and women can participate at various levels.211 Women’s social capital and the multiple networks they bring to the negotiating table makes them an invaluable part of the solution to peacebuilding.212 However, these networks and capabilities remain largely untapped in formal peace processes. Whether formally or informally, women have organised and constituted networks of influencers to promote peacebuilding processes, although facing constraints at each level. The example below illustrates the value of women and men involved in conflict resolution and peacebuilding initiatives that can also serve as early warning mechanisms. These are in many 209 UN Commission on the Status of Women `Women’s equal participation in conflict prevention, management and conflict resolution and in post-conflict peace-building` Forty-eighth session 1-12 March 2004 210 Beijing Declaration and Platform of Action, 1995 211 ‘Making Women Count: Women’s Inclusion in Peace Processes at a Glance’, Geneva: Inclusive Peace and Transition Initiative (Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies), January 2016. 212 Gizelis T I ‘Gender Empowerment and United Nations Peacebuilding’ Journal of Peace Research vol. 46, no. 4, 2009 (Sage Publications) 75
