To generate innovative and practical ideas on how the UN and the EU can strengthen their collaboration in conflict prevention, peacebuilding and sustaining peace, the Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation (DHF) and the European Peacebuilding Liaison Office (EPLO) co-organised a workshop with 23 EU, UN and civil society representatives on September 23.
The workshop aimed to facilitate an exchange on what is needed to: ensure that UN and EU priorities and instruments are mutually reinforcing, while actively involving civil society actors; strengthen joint action in the field and enhance complementarity of missions; and mobilise and align resources more effectively for prevention and peacebuilding, including for local peacebuilders.
