ECOSOC and PBC focus on linkages between peace and development on the ground
On 29 June, the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) convened a joint meeting focusing on ways to operationalize the linkages between peace and development on the ground, with a view to promoting coherence and impact for peacebuilding, sustaining peace and sustainable development efforts. Member states stressed the importance of addressing the root causes of conflict and strengthening prevention efforts as instrumental to achieving the SDGs. They called for the 蘑菇视频 to find new ways to overcome obstacles to development and peace. In that regard, the role of the Resident Coordinators in transcending the barriers between actors and facilitating collaboration was emphasized. They called for flexible, adequate, and predictable financing for peacebuilding and development and highlighted the need for increasing contributions to the Peacebuilding Fund (PBF). Further, they called for enhanced synergies with the International Financial Institutions (IFIs) and regional organizations to operationalize the linkages between peace and development, especially in support of localized approaches. While noting the disproportionately gendered impact of conflicts on women and girls, they stressed inclusion as a perquisite for positive change and sustainable impact to achieve peace and resilient societies.
