3P and the Alliance for Peacebuilding are working with
international coalitions to help ensure countries implement reforms in
international development aid strategies based on the New Deal for Engagementin Fragile States. In the U.S., 3P and AfP helped form a new Subgroup on
Conflict-Affected and Fragile States, part of InterAction's larger Aid
Effectiveness Working Group operating since 2009. The Subgroup brings together
U.S.-based civil society experts on the peacebuilding-development nexus to
advise USAID as it seeks to implement changes in the way it approaches
development in conflict-affected contexts, including one of the New Deal 'pilot
projects' launched by Liberia, the U.S., and Sweden. 3P and AfP helped convene
several meetings and dialogue for the Subgroup this summer to advance the
development effectiveness agenda.
The role of global civil society:
Internationally, global civil society stakeholders on this
issue organized themselves into a 'Core Group' of Southern and Northern
peacebuilding practitioner and policy organizations to relate with the official
inter-governmental body of donor and host nations implementing the New Deal,
called the International Dialogue on Peacebuilding and Statebuilding (IDPS). 3P
and AfP are active members of the civil society Core Group, working hard to
make sure governments implement the peacebuilding approaches mandated by the
New Deal in an inclusive way that empowers conflict-affected societies to chart
their own course out of fragility.
The post-2015 development agenda:
We are also working to make peacebuilding principles part of
the foundation of the new global development agenda that will replace the
Millenium Development Goals when they expire in 2015. 3P and AfP are currently
participating in the international Core Group's effort to draft position papers
and plan outreach events aimed at increasing the political momentum for
peacebuilding principles to be featured in the post-2015 framework.
