Reflecting on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace: The Perspective of Civil Society

The Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation, the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict, Peace Direct and the Peacebuilding Support Office (PBSO) in the United Nations Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs conducted a June 2020 three-day online civil society consultation entitled “Reflecting on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace.”

In the report, civil society calls for consistent inclusion of civil society experiences and expertise at all levels of work and activities. This includes actions on 10 addressing the impact of COVID-19, strengthening mental health and psychosocial support efforts in peacebuilding, localizing global frameworks, and ensuring available, flexible and long-term funding for civil society.
