The fourth regional discussion in the UNDP-GPPAC series titled "What Infrastructures for Peace support Peacebuilding in the Context of Fragility and Crisis?'' presented an opportunity for GPPAC members, as well as UNDP and DPPA colleagues, in Asia and the Pacific to present their ideas and thoughts on the ways to sustain peace in four GPPAC regions: South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Pacific, and Northeast Asia.
