Lessons Learned and Strategic Operationalisation of Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace in Latin America and the Caribbean

The expert-level consultation for the 2025 Review of the United Nations Peacebuilding Architecture (2025 PBAR) held on the 18th of October 2024 provided an opportunity to discuss the expectations from the UN Peacebuilding Architecture in support of national prevention and peacebuilding goals across the LAC region. This summary note offers substantive input for the consideration of Member States during the formal phase of the 2025 PBAR.

During the consultation, Member States expressed that the 2025 PBAR should guide continuous adaptation of the UN Peacebuilding Architecture in being capacitated to provide more concrete and targeted support in response to the needs of diverse Member States and the communities they serve. This includes improving the UN's capacities in supporting the development and strengthening of national prevention/peacebuilding strategies and infrastructures for peace, improving the quality and quantity of financing for peacebuilding and prevention, and providing effective political accompaniment through the role of the Peacebuilding Commission (hereafter, the Commission). These changes are expected to strengthen the impact of existing action to build sustainable peace and prevent conflicts and violence.
