Annual CSO-Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Dialogue on Peacebuilding
Building and Sustaining Peace Together
CSO-Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Dialogue Initiative on Peacebuilding
DPPA, alongside civil society and Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ System partners, launched the Civil Society Organization (CSO) - Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Dialogue Initiative on Peacebuilding in spring 2023 to create a platform for diverse civil society actors, especially from the Global South, to influence global peacebuilding policies and objectives and enable the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ to engage more systematically with civil society in its work building and sustaining peace.
This initiative features annual Dialogues where civil society peacebuilders from all over the world meet with Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ representatives. Together, they discuss challenges and opportunities for meaningful civil society-Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ partnerships on peacebuilding, identify concrete entry points for engagement, and come up with actionable recommendations. Beyond annual convenings, the initiative seeks to build an active network and sustain a lasting momentum for continuous engagement throughout the year. It aims to become an institutionalized forum for civil society-Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ-Member States exchange and collaboration on peacebuilding.
