QUNO welcomed peacebuilders from around the world for 'What's Next in Peacebuilding?' gathering
QUNO gathered a group of 15 peacebuilding organisations from around the world for a three day gathering on 'What's Next in Peacebuilding?' at Quaker House in New York. The event was an opportunity to discuss a variety of issues relevant to peacebuilding practice today, including peace perspectives on humanitarian action, new perspectives on the prevention of violent conflict, funding for peacebuilding, and the role for peacebuilding organisations in the Middle East. Within the busy agenda there was also time set aside for open discussion, giving space for deeper reflection. There was much discussion around the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, conflict prevention and the recent reviews of the Peacebuilding Architecture, Peace Operations and Women, Peace and Security.
