Peacebuilding & Impact
Building the conditions for a lasting peace
A peace operation is only the beginning. Sustainable peace grows from institutions, opportunity and trust.

Case in point
Local mediation that outlasts the Mission
Civil affairs officers convene community forums that identify sources of tension early and connect them to national authorities. These forums are designed to continue long after the Mission has drawn down.
Transition planning
Joint planning with UN country teams to ensure a responsible handover of tasks to national authorities and development partners.
Institution building
Support to national institutions parliaments, judiciaries, oversight bodies to sustain the gains of peace.
Community engagement
Local dialogue, mediation and quick-impact projects that respond to communities' expressed priorities.
Partnerships
Coordination with regional organisations, international financial institutions and civil society.
