NCGM

NATO Department Head (DH) for NATO’s Gender in Military Operations Discipline, a NATO-accredited Education and Training Facility and an Expert Centre on Gender in Military Operations and Women, Peace and Security.

NCGM was founded in 2012 as a joint Nordic centre with the purpose to promote the participating Nations’ implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325, and subsequent resolutions, and to increase the participating Nations’ ability to integrate a gender perspective in military organisations, operations and activities. 

While stemming from the Nordic Defence Cooperation (NORDEFCO), NCGM’s participation has expanded over the years. Since the centre was established, three non-Nordic countries have joined: the Netherlands in 2015, Canada in 2017 and Australia in 2023. 

In 2013, upon request from NATO, NCGM was officially established as the NATO Department Head (DH) for NATO’s Gender in Military Operations Discipline. Since 2018, NCGM is a NATO-accredited Education and Training Facility. NCGM also carries out the role as an Expert Centre on Gender in Military Operations and Women, Peace and Security.

Sweden is the Host Nation of NCGM.
