Annual CSO-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Dialogue on Peacebuilding

Building and Sustaining Peace Together

CSO-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Dialogue Initiative on Peacebuilding

DPPA, alongside civil society and Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ System partners, launched the Civil Society Organization (CSO) - Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ 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¢¹½ÊÓÆµ 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¢¹½ÊÓÆµ representatives. Together, they discuss challenges and opportunities for meaningful civil society-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ 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¢¹½ÊÓÆµ-Member States exchange and collaboration on peacebuilding.
