Together for a Better Peace is a project of the World Federalist Movement - Institute for Global Policy (WFM-IGP), a research and policy institute co-based in New York and The Hague.
The project brings together peacebuilders from around the world to support, monitor and contribute to the work of the UN Peacebuilding Commission. We advocate for effective and transparent processes to identify and achieve peacebuilding goals through the PBC.
We also serve as the UN liaison for the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) by closely monitoring developments related to the PBC and offering strategies for including civil society perspectives in peacebuilding policy and practice. Together, we are building a better peace.
Our goals are to:
- Establish a civil society constituency to assist the PBC in developing better peacebuilding policy and practice
- Build the capacity of civil society organizations to contribute to the work of the PBC
- Support the development of effective and transparent PBC processes in countries on the agenda and at the UN
"Better Peace" is part of WFM-Institute for Global Policy's program on International Democratic Governance (IDG). The IDG Program supports inclusive global responses to the rise of transnational governance. It strives to increase the transparency and accountability of decision-making at the United Nations and other international institutions, and advocates for more democratic and inclusive systems of governance in intergovernmental and transnational mechanisms.
"Better Peace" often collaborates with the IDG Program's project on UN Reform on issues related to the peacekeeping and peacebuilding architecture.
ReformtheUN.org acts as a go-to resource for diplomats, media and civil society alike, following progress on UN reform proposals emerging from the 2005 World Summit.
