The Female Leadership Program for Inclusive Security Governance in the Sahel – Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso is a program supported by the European Union through its Instrument contributing to Stability and Peace (IcSP).

The Stability and Peace Instrument (IcSP) is an EU instrument intended to support security initiatives and peacebuilding actions in partner countries. Established in 2014, it is the successor to the Instrument for Stability (IdS). The IcSP is part of the new generation of tools that the EU has acquired to finance actions beyond its borders. It emphasizes crisis response, crisis preparedness, conflict prevention and peacebuilding.
