Investing in Peace - the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund

This project builds on past support to the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund (PBF) and seeks to address urgent peacebuilding needs in fragile and conflict-affected states through locally-led gender and youth-responsive catalytic investments. Project activities include: (1) supporting fast and flexible initiatives that address gender and youth inclusion; (2) facilitating United Nations transitions from peacekeeping to local-level peacebuilding; and (3) supporting cross-border and regional programs.

The expected results of this project include: (1) increased additional and better nationally-led peacebuilding and prevention interventions including in cross-border and transition contexts and support of more inclusion of women and youth; (2) improved investments in peacebuilding funds at the country level to help unblock critical processes and enable innovative approaches for peacebuilding and prevention; and (3) increased coherent and integrated approaches to peacebuilding on time.
