Civil Society Dialogue Network Publications
The Civil Society Dialogue Network (CSDN) publications bring together analysis and reflections from civil society organisations working on conflict prevention and peacebuilding.
They explore key policy debates, share experiences from different contexts, and contribute to discussions on how the European Union can better support peace.
