    Studies have shown that women made significant contributions to conflict resolution and prevention, peace negotiations, peacebuilding, peacekeeping, humanitarian aid, and post-war reconstruction. This research centers on Social-Cultural Environment and Women inclusion in Peace-Building: The Implementation of UN Security Resolution 1325 in Nigeria and Ghana. The research design is survey, adopting both qualitative and quantitative methods to generate data. The sample size of 400 respondents divided into 200 respondents in Nigeria and 200 respondents in Ghana were purposively selected to participate in the study. The study is situated within the Gender Mainstreaming theory. Findings reveal, men and the patriarchal institutions control virtually every aspect of the Nigerian and Ghanaian societies in respect to women in general and implementations of the UN Security Council Resolution 1325 in particular. The findings further revealed that religion and its dogma have a firm grip on the lives of the people in the two countries adherents. The study recommended among others, that the Ministry of Women Affairs in Nigeria and the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Ghana should have an all-inclusive critical stakeholder which would include men, women and religious leaders of the two societies in the formulation of new NAPs.
