BREAKOUT SESSION 3
“Partnerships that Work: Leveraging the Private Sector and Civil Society in Peacebuilding Efforts”
15:00-17:00, Monday, 19 Nov, Room 8
Both the General Assembly and the Security Council have recognized that sustaining peace is a collective task. As underscored by the United Nations Secretary-General, building and sustaining peace require enhanced strategic coherence and partnerships. Efforts to sustain peace are necessary not only during conflict but also long beforehand, through addressing its root causes for prevention.
The discussions will focus on the importance of establishing and strengthening partnerships for peace with a particular focus on how the private sector and civil society can contribute to Goal 16 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development on promoting just, peaceful, and inclusive societies.
