INT/08/X17: UN Peace Building Portal Implementation for the Commonwealth of Independent States

Main Expectations: To facilitate substantive information-gathering and develop regional, sub-regional partnerships and networks among multilateral organizations, national/regional institutions, NGOs, and other civil society partners in the East/Central Europe and CIS regions.

Objective/Purpose of Project: The goal of the Peacebuilding Portal is to support multilateral collaboration on conflict prevention & peacebuilding by offering local, national, and multi-lateral stakeholders a real-time web tool to strengthen their work and better respond to issues surrounding human security, peacebuilding & conflict. The objective of this project was to expand the outreach of the Portal to the countries in the Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States. Now the Portal connects and strengthens organizations working on peacebuilding and conflict prevention and is designed to offer information on peacebuilding organizations in these regions as well.


Key Accomplishments (to-date): The expansion of the Portal into Eastern and Central Europe and the CIS has been implemented successfully and now the Portal hosts over 3,000 profiles with number of beneficiaries more than doubled. The Portal has increased its users and stakeholder groups by over 50% and reached more diverse and multi-faceted beneficiaries in new sub-regions. Universities and academia usage worldwide has more than doubled accompanied by an increase in users from bi-lateral organizations working in peacebuilding from a variety of UN member states. The Portal expansion has been rolled out across the selected countries, canvassing the region for those organizations relevant to peacemakers and peacebuilders. The information from small, local organizations working in peacebuilding even in remote locations in the field through local consultants undertaking local travel, extensive in-person and on-line interviews, bilateral and small NGO group meetings was retrieved and included.

Cooperating Partners: UNDP country offices, NGOs, bilateral and multilateral organizations working in or on East/Central Europe and CIS in conflict prevention areas
