Strengthening Peacebuilding Through Local Partnerships

The side event at UN Peacebuilding Week 2026 highlighted how local peacebuilding initiatives strengthen conflict prevention, democratic resilience, and social cohesion in both conflict-affected and non-conflict settings. Organized by Germany’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations and ZIF, the event showcased practical examples from the 2025 Compendium of Good Practice and Innovative Peacebuilding Approaches at the Local Level, including the Peace Transfer Center Augsburg. It provided a platform for Member States and practitioners to exchange experiences and explore partnerships that support sustainable peacebuilding.
