Ambassador Antje Leendertse 🇩🇪🇺🇳:Despite challenges, Germany remains committed to peacebuilding. The input of #ImPACTCoalition to PBAR is crucial as coalitions & connections enable effective implementation. PBC thrives on national ownership, PBF catalyses progress. Inclusivity fuels their success
Amid UN's legitimacy crisis & dwindling peacebuilding funds, the PBAR offers a unique opportunity. Our vision must embrace multi-stakeholder collaboration, inclusive development & tangible local impact. Sustainable peace needs grassroots empowerment. Abdalla El-Saffi, Life&Peace Institute
The New Agenda for Peace aims to bring together different perspectives on peace & security challenges, but the Pact for the Future lacks strategies for operationalisation. PBAR provides an opportunity to advance NA4P with support from the #ImPACTCoalition . Miriam Bensky, UN Political and Peacebuilding Affairs
Dr. Roselyn Akombe: Every 5 years, we assess UN peacebuilding efforts: what works, what doesn't, and how to improve. We hope that this ImPACT Coalition can help lead this charge, amplifying voices and shaping peacebuilding for our societies.
The session on the 'ImPACT Coalition on Peacebuilding' during the #2024UNCSC discussed how the upcoming 2025 UN Peacebuilding Architecture Review (PBAR) can effectively operationalise the vision of the #PactfortheFuture & shape a more efficient peacebuilding agenda.
Graeme Simpson: This ImPACT Coalition invites the peacebuilding community to contribute to a discussion & strategy for operationalising the aspirations of the Pact for the Future through the PBAR. The goal is to ensure that the 2025 Peacebuilding Architecture is ‘fit for purpose.'
“We need to rethink the creative contribution young ppl can make to both peacebuilding & statebuilding. But this is dependent on their active role in building trustworthy & accountable institutions of state. Inclusion of young ppl must be meaningful & not tokenized.” Graeme Simpson
