Remarks on the UN PBC 232.89 KB QUNO Geneva's newsletter for November to January 2010. Featured stories:
This paper aims to demonstrate that peacebuilding initiatives can be led by local rather than international players and that this approach can work successfully on a large scale. The paper summarises four peacebuilding initiatives, all more or less locally led, which have operated on a large scale, and which have had real impact in ending violent conflict. It sets out steps that could be taken to move from current practice, in which local capacity for peacebuilding is viewed as marginal, to one where it is regarded as a central element of any strategy for managing conflict.

In & Around the UN, Sep 2009 590.36 KB Geneva is a major global centre of peacebuilding expertise, and the Geneva peacebuilding sector is very large and diverse in terms of number of organisations, number of staff, geographical coverage, and size of budgets. Geneva thus has a critical contribution to make in the international field of peacebuilding.
With the creation of the United Nations (UN) Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) in 2005, a group of institutions working on peacebuilding undertook to explore how their constituencies could add value to the new international peacebuilding architecture, through a series of consultations and public discussions. This two-year dialogue led to a mapping of the Geneva peacebuilding landscape, the outcomes of which are presented in this publication.
