Support to United Nations Peacebuilding Fund

This project supports the multi-donor United Nations (UN) Peacebuilding Fund (PBF) which delivers fast flexible catalytic and targeted programming to peace support and peace building initiatives in fragile and conflict-affected states (FCAS). Project activities include: (1) supporting the implementation of peace agreements and political dialogue; (2) promoting coexistence and peaceful resolution of conflict; (3) economic revitalization and generation of peace dividends; and (4) rebuilding essential administrative services and capacities.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) threats to peace processes are mitigated by providing emergency short term financing to support stabilization and timely responses; (2) national reconciliation is improved through the engagements of youth women and marginal groups in conflict affected communities to strengthen the social cohesion between conflicting groups; and (3) enhanced ability of the UN system to effectively manage peacekeeping transitions and to support targeted conflict prevention activities conducted by UN country teams in non-mission settings.
