Content_paragraphs:  At the fifth high-level meeting of the Agreement Monitoring Committee, held 
  
  on 11 February in Kidal, participants agreed to increase the number of women among 
  
  its representatives from 9 to 12 and to include women in its four subcommittees. 
  
  Women members of the Committee reiterated that there was an urgent need to address 
  
  the issue of education as a prerequisite for lasting peace. Since their participation in 
  
  the forty-first meeting of the Agreement Monitoring Committee in November 2020, 
  
  women have seen their role in the peace process increase. The Mission, UN-Women 
  
  and other partners continue to support the right of women to equal participation, 
  
  particularly through a mentorship programme for women members of the Committee.
