UN DEPT OF POLITICAL AFFAIRS

Purpose

This project supports the work of the United Nations Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs (DPPA), which plays a central role in the United Nations efforts to prevent deadly conflict, and build sustainable peace around the world. The DPPA also works to help ensure the meaningful participation of women, youth, Indigenous peoples and marginalized groups in political processes, conflict prevention and mediation. Project activities include: (1) advancing the sustaining peace agenda by supporting inclusive constitutional processes, peaceful elections and national dialogues; (2) strengthening the capacity of regional and sub-regional organizations to address key conflict drivers; and (3) fostering inclusiveness through civil society networks.
