The Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) are organising an online expert-level dialogue on “Supporting Local Infrastructures for Peace Post Covid-19: the Role of an Integrated Peacebuilding-Development Approach in Europe and Central Asia”, which will take place on 16 February 2021.
COVID-19 presents a clear opportunity for identifying how local infrastructures for peace can better operationalize the nexus between peacebuilding and development to effectively respond to crises, prevent conflicts, and advance peace in the long term. It is against this background, the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) organize an expert-level dialogue to interrogate the challenges and opportunities of operationalizing local peacebuilding architecture in Europe and Central Asia.
Specifically, the dialogue is organized to:
- Take stock of existing infrastructures for peace in Europe and Central Asia and reflect on the ways these infrastructures support local peacebuilding action;
- Facilitate a joint learning to understand the challenges and opportunities presented by the COVID-19 pandemic on the operationalisation of infrastructures for peace;
- Collate actionable policy recommendations on the ways local peacebuilding action can be better supported post COVID-19.
