Policy Points:

Inclusive change is slow and incremental. Support to inclusion in peace processes requires realistic, long-term goals and sustained commitment.
Inclusive change is essentially an internal agenda and is highly politicised. External engagement is best provided through support or guidance.
Conflict resolution frameworks that prioritise the inclusion of particular groups may make other forms of inclusion harder; external actors can adopt approaches that anticipate and mitigate exclusionary outcomes.
Formal legal instruments can embed and protect inclusion commitments from reactionary pushback.
Support to excluded groups should be accompanied with incentives to those threatened by inclusion.
Supporting inclusion at sub-national levels is essential for sustainability and requires specific and disaggregated measures.
