National Action Plans on UNSCR 1325 are among the most visible commitments a government can make to the women living under its authority. They signal intent, structure resources, name priorities — and they are supposed to be accountable.

The Beyond1325 NAP Tracker assesses every NAP across three domains, fourteen questions, and a set of analytical fields that together produce a quantitative score and a qualitative profile.

Domain 1 — Design and grounding: Was the NAP built with and for the women it claims to serve? Examines consultation, conflict landscape, African frameworks, and civil society integration.

Domain 2 — Accountability and implementation: Was the NAP built to be implemented? Examines budget, structure, baseline data, indicators, and whether accountability flows downward to communities.

Domain 3 — Evidence of impact: Did implementation happen and did it change anything? Scored only where independent evidence exists — government self-reporting is not sufficient.

Each question is scored 0, 1, or 2. 0 = absent or not evidenced. 1 = partial or weak. 2 = substantial or clearly evidenced. Maximum total score is 28. Scores are read comparatively across NAPs and over time — not as absolute judgements on any single country.

Domain 1: 5 questions × 2 = 10 max. Domain 2: 6 questions × 2 = 12 max. Domain 3: 3 questions × 2 = 6 max.
