From 24-26 June 2024, a training seminar titled ‘Advocacy towards the EU on Funding for Peacebuilding’ took place at Atelier 29, Brussels, Belgium. The seminar focused on the EU’s Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), its long-term budget for 2021-2027, with negotiations for the next MFF set to begin in 2025. Participants learned about the MFF’s role in funding peacebuilding efforts and the processes involved in EU external action funding. The event aimed to strengthen civil society representatives’ capacity to advocate for peacebuilding funding at both EU and Member State levels. Sessions included interactive discussions, group exercises, a tour of the European Parliament, and insights from EU officials. Travel and accommodation costs were covered for participants from outside Brussels.
