GPPAC's vision for the outcome document of the 2025 Peacebuilding Architecture Review

This document presents GPPAC’s vision for the 2025 Peacebuilding Architecture Review (2025 PBAR) outcome document. It is rooted in four priorities identified by local peacebuilders in the 2020-2024 period:

1. articulate what inclusive national ownership and leadership in peacebuilding and sustaining mean
2. emphasise the role of the UN as the facilitator of connections and the provider of political, technical and financial accompaniment
3.  strengthen quantity and quality of financing for peacebuilding
4. define what localisation of peacebuilding and sustaining peace
   means

The document outlines these priorities, explaining both the rationale (‘why’) behind them and the methodology (‘how’) to advance peacebuilding and sustaining peace. It even includes sample resolution language for each priority. 

The 2020 dual resolutions on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace (A/RES/75/201-S/RES/2558) mandate ‘a comprehensive review of United Nations peacebuilding in 2025’ (OP5). Unlike the procedural resolution in 2020, the 2025 PBAR outcome document has the potential to clarify further the concept of ‘peacebuilding and sustaining peace’ by building on developments since the 2015 PBAR and the 2016 dual resolutions on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace (A/RES/70/262-S/RES/ 2282).
