Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between incorporating gender mainstreaming and peace sustainability.Methodology: The study took the form of a desk study though interviews will be conducted in an effort to capture the respondent's view of the role of gender participation in the Igad II peace process and the role of gender in sustainable peace.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Women suffer from discrimination in employment and education and in society in general. Women must be empowered through access to information about rights and to skill-building so they can affect positive change. The government needs to provide equal rights under the law to both males and females. In the same vein, both the government and civil society must heighten national awareness that some cultural and religious beliefs are discriminatory. Women should lobby for the ratification of Covenant on the Elimination of Discrimination among Women.
