Background

Upon entering office in January 2017, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres emphasized the importance of prioritizing prevention and advancing the implementation and momentum of the ‘Sustaining Peace’ resolutions passed by the Security Council and General Assembly in April 2016. This has marked a notable shift in how the UN understands and seeks to address peacebuilding in a comprehensive manner not previously seen. The policy debates that have surrounded the ‘sustaining peace’ agenda reflect the continuing evolution of how peacebuilding is both defined in policy and theoretical terms and, more importantly, how various actors seek to translate this understanding concretely at country level. In order take stock of these conceptual and practical developments, the Network for Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding will convene a seminar on ‘key concepts and approaches in conflict prevention and peacebuilding’.

Programme (TBC)

Part 1: Understanding key concepts – definitions and perspectives
