2020 Review: PBC Consultation on Financing and Partnerships for Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace

The complexity of modern-day cycles of crisis and conflict require scaled-up peacebuilding responses. Close strategic and operational partnerships between the UN, national governments and other key stakeholders, such as regional and sub-regional organizations, international financial institutions, the private sector and civil society, as also are required as never before to appropriately share risk and ensure coherent, complementary and joined-up responses. International partners need to find ways to support locally-led and community-centered peacebuilding efforts, and the newly developed UN system-wide community engagement guidelines can help in that regard.   Adequate, predictable and sustained financing of peacebuilding efforts is the cornerstone of effective responses to assist countries to build and sustain peace over time. However, this widely acknowledged and understood requirement of peacebuilding continues to be an unmet challenge.

This consultation will be dedicated to exploring ways to ensure sustainable financing for peacebuilding and sustaining peace efforts and to strengthen partnerships that enhance coherent and effective peacebuilding support at the country level.
