From Rhetoric to Practice: Concrete steps to support the implementation of Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace at the country level

The forward-looking recommendations in this briefing note are based on the experiences of local peacebuilders in the 2020-2024 period. Reflecting the four shifts called for by the Secretary-General in his 2018 Report on peacebuilding and sustaining peace (A/72/707–S/2018/43), these recommendations aim to inform the 2025 Peacebuilding Architecture Review (2025 PBAR).

In line with the 2025 PBAR’s objective, they can support the United Nations System, development partners and the donor community in improving the implementation and impact of peacebuilding efforts at the country level.
