Efforts to build women's capacity to work in peace-building must link women's practical needs such as access to clean water and microcredit, with strategic needs related to gendered divisions of labour and power, which require confidence building, training in awareness of human rights, and the creation of organisations and networks. This is according to a report from International Alert that documents a participatory needs assessment undertaken in mid-2002 with women involved in peace-building in the Niger Delta region.
