OECD

Purpose

This project supports the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)’s International Dialogue on Peacebuilding and Statebuilding (IDPS). The IDPS is a unique forum for political dialogue that brings together a group of 20 countries affected by conflict and fragility, OECD donors, global financial institutions, and civil society organizations to improve the way that donors, lenders, civil society and national governments work together to pursue development, peace and security in fragile and conflict affected states. The IDPS drives political momentum for change through strong partnerships and mutual accountability for results. It provides support to the global voice of fragile states and promotes solutions based on country-ownership and a comprehensive approach to development and security issues. Project activities include: (1) convening the Steering Group Meeting of the IDPS (in Lisbon at the g7+ hub); (2) conducting in-depth country level dialogues among the IDPS constituencies; (3) Facilitating engagement between the IDPS constituencies; and (3) preparing a politically relevant and tangible IDPS contribution for the UN High Level Political Forum (HLPF) 2019, which focuses on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16.
