I joined to make the first project of the Youth Interfaith Community (YIC) which is Interfaith Youth Forum (IYF) 2012. I learned about pluralism, interfaith dialogue, conflict resolution, and so on. In September 2012, the IYF 2012 was successfully conducted. We invited forty of the best Indonesian youths from different cultures and religious backgrounds, but interested in interfaith issues. In this event, we encouraged all participants to inform each other about their religions. We also went directly to visit various worship places. In addition, to increase my knowledge regarding peace and tolerance, in the beginning 2013 I joined the CINTA (Community for Interfaith and Intercultural Dialogue) Indonesia. The program of CINTA was Dialogue in Diversity. CINTA held roadshow to seven big cities in Indonesia to promote peace and tolerance by doing dialogue. Our main focus was on students from the university. Furthermore, after the program, my team from Youth Interfaith Community, CINTA Indonesia and I made a joined action called Peace Candy and Worship Place Service Project. By giving peace candy to young people in Palembang, we encouraged them to spread the value of peace and tolerance. In 2015, my team and I had an opportunity to join a conflict resolution training in the Philippines. After finishing the training, we made a peace festival in Jakarta, Indonesia. We invited youths from different backgrounds to celebrate our diversity.

I was being a speaker for some national and international events including Global Peace Camps, Interfaith Youth Forums, Interfaith & Intercultural Dialogue seminars in Indonesia. Ina addition, in 2017, I was presenting my research in Japan and Austria. Moreover, I was being a speaker at the University of Peace, Costa Rica and a speaker for the Young Southeast Asia Leaders Initiative Summit 2017 in Vietnam. Furthermore, I also wrote an article about our interfaith forum 2014 in Palangkaraya, Kalimantan, Indoensia and published in the Jakarta Post (http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2014/12/06/citizen-journalism-learning-tolerance-dayak-society.html) | According to Michael Novak (1983) “Unity in diversity is the highest possible attainment of a civilization, a testimony to the most noble possibilities of the human race.This attainment is made possible through passionate concern for choice, in an atmosphere of social trust”. Based on the definition, I think we have to embrace the diversity by understanding each other, not to avoid it. Diversity is celebrated as a source of strength and enrichment of human endeavor which signifies a discourse of hope and togetherness. With my experiences, I hope to share my skills such as project management, communication skills, and how to live with other people from different background. Also, I want to share about the unity in diversity in Indonesia. Every country has a different culture. For me the religious practices, arts, marriage system and indigenous language, natural environment must be celebrated as a mixed symbol that bind the people together in every nation because that is what makes it unique. For example having a national language would lessen feelings of exclusion and domination by one or few ethnic groups. Another powerful quote from Prof. Leonard Swidler from Dialogue Institute, Temple University ""Nobody knows everything about anything."" I should spread this sentence to everyone especially young people because I believe young people have power to create peace in this world. I would recommend the United Nations collaborate with youth organizations to promote peace. | |||||||||||||||||

I equally engaged prominent musicians and developed a music on peace and tolerance that is currently being aired over Cameroon's national radio. I initiated the Enhancing multicultural dialogue for Peace Project in Cameroon in 2015 through which I brought together over 150 youth and civil society leaders from all ten regions of Cameroon in the first ever National Forum on Youth, women, Peace and security in Cameroon. This created a unique platform for youth to interact first hand with top government officials in Cameroon and facilitated the development of a youth declaration on Peace in Cameroon that has been presented to the concerned offices both and local and national levels. I worked with other civil society leaders to develop TV content, engaging youths in countering radicalization and violent extremism in Cameroon. As part of this, I run programs over community radios in Cameroon that engage families in countering radicalization and violent extremism in Cameroon. In 2015, in Accra - Ghana in the Mandela Washington Fellows Alumni Outreach program, I facilitated a panel on The Contributions of women in promoting Peace and the development of West Africa, with the Representative of U.N Women for Nigeria and the ECOWAS as lead speaker. | Chongwain Christelle Bay, 32, is passionate about peace building and promoting the socioeconomic empowerment of women, girls and communities.

I addressed 600+ youth leaders on the 17th of February in the congress hall in Yaounde on the theme 'Youth engagement in building peace through dialogue and social entrepreneurship"". I have equally presented several media interviews on my organisations activities in Cameroon as well as presented the work of my organisation in several international programs like the Families Against Terrorism summit in Tunisia in 2016, UNDP Regional workshop to develop counter narratives to addressing radicalization and violent extremism in east and west Africa in October 2017 in Uganda. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akfx1C7ikmk https://web.facebook.com/chrisbay21 | Much has been done thus far by the UN in building peace but there remains increasing trends of radicalization and violent extremism especially in rural communities. This is largely because most efforts have focused largely on a top-bottom approach and communities have not fully embraced the essence of real peace and tolerance to their empowerment and sustainability. It is of utmost importance, at this stage to engage communities at the local levels, focusing especially on youth and women groups and employing unexplored or under-explored traditional methods such as community radios, music, drama and engaging families in peace building initiatives especially in identifying and countering radicalization and violent extremism as route to sustaining peace. Focusing more on these local initiatives will strengthen the United Nations work on peace building and will further enhance the sustainability of every initiative carried out. | |||||||||||||||||

Peace keeping cannot only be achieved by using weapons or the military. There should be diplomacy and military peace keeping forces should only be used on aggravated situations. Such finance must come from all member states of the United Nations, philantropic organizations and all other well wishers who want to promote peace and stability in particular regions or in the entirw world. There is a platform for donation on the internet through which everyone who yeans for peace in the world can make contributions for the promotion of peace in the world. The provision of weapons to fight terrorist organization in the world is also very important. However, these provision must be carefully studied, as recently some governments have made terrorist allegations againts movements that are legitimately fighting for their rights. Financing can be sustained for peace building also through fundraising campaigns. In regions where the demands for peace keeping is great member states must consider contributing more for the sustaining of peace in such regions. | |||||||||||||||||

The potential solutions for violent extremism,is when we all understand that youth are the brightest hope for stemming violence before it starts.We need a complex make up driven by varying degrees of adventure,money,status and proof of identity and self-actualization. 3)Social Enterprise presents promising prospects for peace.

According to a recent estimate, less than 1 percent of the world’s population holds 41 percent of all wealth. Second, potent technological advances such as the widespread use of mobile phones and the drop in price point for such devices, indicate that the future of banking could revolve around cost-effective mobile applications. As most large corporates and banks compete to deliver financial services, ftcash captures a formally ignored market like the micro-merchants. ftcash creates a simpler way to access the payments into their bank accounts and make transactions in a faster, more convenient manner. With traditional mass-market saving accounts, banks have given very little consideration to consumer engagement with previously unbanked clients after they open an account. The effect is that roughly half of basic bank accounts lie dormant. ftcash enables that financial inclusion provides social and economic justice to these underserved communities. Improved cash flows, better cash management and purchasing ability provides a base of a just society. While the proliferation of WhatsApp and Facebook has transcended from metros to cities and even villages we believe ftcash will be the enabler for them to accept electronic payments and access to institutional finance. We believe that it's time ""The Missing Middle"" comes of age and gets access to better health, education, and nutrition through financial inclusion. | Vaibhav is the Co-founder of ftcash, one of India's fastest growing financial technology company, recognized by Forbes, backed by PayPal and MasterCard. ftcash empowers the 60+ million underserved micro-merchants in India through financial inclusion using digital payments and loans. ftcash and Vaibhav were conferred by His Royal Highness Prince William & Kate Middleton as part of the UKTI Great Tech Program during their India visit in 2016. Vaibhav has spent last decade working at the intersection of entrepreneurship, social development and policy across 7 countries and 23 states in India. Previously, Vaibhav was a Director, Global Development at XPRIZE, leading the first global prize that targets the problem of access to water. He has been associated with The World Bank where he advised the Government of India on the institutional framework for a project worth $1 billion. Vaibhav has received a number of accolades and awards over the last few years. In 2017, World Economic Forum selected him as a Global Shaper to represent the voice of millennials for their Annual Meeting at Davos.

My focus has been the Middle East, covering Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Egypt as well as Central Asia, Colombia and Nigeria. We have developed pilot projects in Iraq focused on university students, teachers and the education system and were recently awarded a £250,000 grant from GIZ to replicate the pilot in Ninewa. In Egypt we have just begun a pilot project in the most sectarian villages in Upper Egypt, focused on youth leadership and nurturing peacebuilders amongst Muslims and Christians alongside developing a committee of elders to act as mentors and influencers in the local governorate. In Syria and Lebanon we have been supporting local partners in faith-based forgiveness and reconciliation programs and have supported the development of a Lebanon-wide network of faith-based peacebuilding practitioners (for the first time in Lebanon). This has involved project management (in all its aspects), partner management and M&E at all levels on the ground to test our theories of change and build a strategy for the region. | No | |||||||||||||||||||||||

The BFIYN was established with affiliation to African Council of Religious Leaders(ACRL), the African branch of Religions for Peace International. Before that, I initiated interfaith panels, night of worship, football tournament, conferences/workshops to sensitize youth on the importance of living together in peace despite our religious differences.

In 2016, he founded the ""Burkina Faso Interfaith Youth Network"" in cooperation with Religions for Peace (RfP) in order to counter terrorism through interfaith and intercultural dialogue. He is strongly engaged in promoting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the UN Security Council 2250 Resolution on Youth, Peace, and Security.

I hosted so many presential conferences at US embassy in Ouagadougou or during training I often organize for young people. During the workshops of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, I am regularly asked to host conferences on migration, preventing violent extremism, youth leadership etc. Recently, I gave a speech on the UN SC 2250 Resolution on Youth, Peace and Security. I also participated to panels on intergenerational dialogue, inter religious dialogue, youth participation to governance alongside with senior religious and political leaders. Moreover, I used to build partnerships with medias to communicate on my activities. So, I hosted some conferences on radio to engage youth in good actions for positive social change.

Partnering with governments has led to the creation of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations(UNAOC) by a group of friends led by Turkey in 2005. .Partnership can also convince governments to consider the UN Security Council 2250 Resolution on Youth, Peace and Security, and further develop national plans to prevent violent extremism. Partnering with youth-led organizations is very important because of the great impact of peer education. Youth are likely to listen to and to trust their peers rather than parents. So, the UN should partner with youth to become youth ambassadors and to vehicle messages of peace and tolerance to their peers. These ambassadors can also teach to their peers how to handle with online hate speech. The UN should also partner with the civil society organizations especially faith-based organizations for them to spread messages of tolerance and combat hate speech. These religious organizations would further emphasize the role of family education and of inter generational dialogue to build a peaceful and inclusive society. Moreover, the UN should partner with medias as well as regional bodies such as ECOWAS, African Union, European Union etc. because the issue of terrorism is transnational and then, we need a holistic, integrated and multinational approach to eradicate it. | |||||||||||||||||||

And it was in the thorns of life that I learned to grow, I'm not colorblind, yours is that the world is black and white, where I walk in the streets of my city, I see children starving, trash in the oceans, etc. With this in mind, I have developed a project whose main goal is to bring clean energy to countries and communities of extreme poverty around the world and to help the environment and try to sprout a smile where there is no hope. I believe that the only way to promote ""peace"" is to grasp more closely at God, to have intimacy with Jesus Christ, to repent of our sins and to begin to think differently in our daily lives. I thought I would find happiness at parties, drinks, but full peace I only found in Christ Jesus! To promote peace with everyone, only Christ in the heart. My project is about a new medium of electric energy that I developed in college, which, with the advancement of climate change, I believe that all help is necessary. When I see in the news, wars in Syria, children being killed, no food, people where hatred speaks louder, I sometimes wonder where that ""humanity"" went. To see the tears of a child and do nothing, is something I do not want to do, if I have an opportunity to make my voice heard, I will do my best! | I live in São Paulo, I am 20 years old, I am a technician in chemistry, I like to play guitar, drums and I like to write about my life, society, etc. | Yes | Interactive Dialogue I - Sustainable Financing for Peace | No | Trying to make a smile grow where there is no hope | |||||||||||||||||||||

Please note that I am also involved in cooperation for development issues in the framework of Cotonou Agreement(Cooperation for Development Agreement between the European Union and the Africa,Caribbean and Pacific Group of States). Many empiric studies have demonstrated the relationship between endemic poverty,unemployment of youth and armed conflicts including illicit financial flows involved in developing countries. Most of these countries are member States of the ACP Group of States and 48 LDCs,LLDCs and SIDS are member States of ACP Group. In fact,peacebuilding processes and conflict prevention initiatives, poaching wildlife,illicit trade of arms in conflict zones,illicit financial flows in conflict zones including other kind of illicit business and the achievement of a sustainable development are interdependents each other and should be considered as a whole. This is why I use to advocate for the strengthening the United Nations work on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace in the field and the inclusion of development dimension in the field.

If government officials would not yet be ready to do so,they can use civil society or local/traditional authorities to listen to them and to check what they exactely need or request in exchange of returning in a normal life. Among them;many have now children with the age to attend higher schools or to do their business legaly.They stand ready to return in normal life in order to give a chance to their children..but they probably need some assurances from the authorities.

I was part of Noor Educational & Capacity Development Organization from 2007 to 2010, to enhance local communities’ resiliency, cohesion and capacity to promote a peaceful society. I was providing support in conducting awareness workshops and conference to make Afghan man protect woman rights, promote democracy and peace. Afterwards, I joined National Democratic Institute for International Affairs from 2010 to 2016, which focused to promote the participation of civic groups, political parties, women, and government bodies in the country’s political and electoral processes. As Afghanistan is a young democracy, the political parties as key pillars of democracy are new too. The background of civil war, internal conflicts and political parties’ involvement in that was challenging to bring them under one umbrella and have them discuss and share ideas. The culture of tolerance due to war and conflicts was absent; with the efforts I put along the team, I could build strong networks where now those major parties at different levels including leadership, youth or women commonly and jointly take positions on various political issues of the country. Currently at United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, Political Affairs, I am involved in the local peace initiatives, to resolve local conflicts. As young women I see myself key player. Involvement of women will help to counter extremist, consider new perspective and innovative ways of approaching the disputes. | When I was a kid, we were displaced from our district Ghorband, Parwan due to war to the capital of Afghanistan. It was Taliban period and no girl/woman were allowed to get out of houses. Regardless of such a risky and difficult time I began to attend hidden school, for which I had to dress as boys, or some other days carry tailoring material or Quran to show it is a course. Nevertheless, one day Taliban found out our hidden school, they destroyed it, beat us and the teachers, and also burnt our text and note books. However, such inhuman action never stopped me. We changed the place but not our mindset, and I promised myself that I will fight for education so that one day I contribute into peace and stability in my country, and all girls or boys study and work freely without any oppression and fear. Taliban could not deprived me of education, and therefore I am sure this current conflicted situation of Afghanistan will not stop me from being an active young women to contribute into achievement of peace and stability in the country.

IMAECSED need not have peace building or conflict resolution as its only purpose, it conducts activities with such objectives. Conflict transformation and conflict management are often used without distinction referring to the same approaches to conflicts. Peace building has developed into encompassing a broad spectrum of activities, promote peace and support conflict prevention and management referring to ‘any activity undertaken with the purpose of preventing, alleviating or resolving violent, or potentially violent, conflict. These two concepts are used interchangeably by our activities. Thus, the concepts conflict resolution and peace building are defined as any activity undertaken with the purpose of preventing, alleviating or resolving violent, or potentially violent, conflict. The increase in NGO activities is partly related to changes in the nature of conflict which has demanded a revision of existing practices for conflict resolution and peace building A variety of methods are practiced at the grassroots-level. Workshops, trainings, seminars and other activities are conducted with the aim of developing local capacity for conflict resolution, empowering people to take own initiatives to support the peace process, building confidence and facilitating reconciliation between polarised communities. | ||||||||||||||||||||

I have provided information to the international community on Afghanistan’s events and current affairs and have raised awareness about Afghanistan’s situation through organising conferences, Seminars, symposiums, workshops and networking since 2002. I have organised several conferences at the UK parliament in which government officials from the US, Afghanistan and UK, ministers, ambassadors of different countries, leaders of political parties participated. In these conferences current socio-economic problems, peace and reconciliation and cultural issues in Afghanistan as well as aid and international affairs have been discussed. It has been the objective of the conferences to come up with some solid recommendation (s) as how to resolve these issue and how to ensure Afghanistan and above mentioned countries remain at the top of international agenda. I have helped Afghan government, UK Government with various aspect of security and stability, human rights, peace and reconciliation, economic development, how to tackle radical religious ideologies and most importantly Afghanistan's, Asia and Middle East political position in the region. I have had a meeting on 2 February 2018 with Minister Mark Field in the UK Parliament and discussed on issues related to peace making, peace keeping and peace building. | My name is Heshmat U Assadi and was born in Afghanistan. When I was a 14 year old pupil in the Balkh province, Afghanistan I established a social club called Eagle and then continued my activities in Kabul University while studying. I used to organise programmes like (sports, art, poetry and handwriting) for young people and adults. During that period I was convinced that I should help those who were in need. After my graduation from Moscow University, I came to the UK in 1996 and was granted Refugee Status. I realised (after evolution and monitoring) that Afghan and other communities living in the UK needed an organisation to help them in integrating in UK. As a result of mental stress and health problems that a significant number of these people experienced as a result of war, torture, persecution, and loss of families and friends, they find it very difficult to settle harmoniously in the UK. The overall focus of my work has been to increase access to mainstream services that may improve the well-being of the Afghans and other different communities and facilitate their integration into British society. I integrate and facilitate clients in society through advice, information, counselling on legal issue, workshop and sports activities etc. I did professional training programmes at college and university in law, social science, financial controls, management and development and couching. I was fully equipped to set up an organisation called Eagle Eyes Association on 14 April 1997 in London aiming at assisting vulnerable people from different backgrounds. | Yes | Interactive Dialogue I - Sustainable Financing for Peace Interactive Dialogue II - Strengthening the United Nations Work on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace in the Field Interactive Dialogue III - Strategic Partnerships with the United Nations in the Field for Peace Interactive Dialogue IV - UN Comprehensive and Integrated Approach to Peace | Yes | Please refer to my organisation's website www.eagleeyesngo.org | UN should focus on working to facilitate peace process in war-stricken countries and put an end to humanitarian crisis that people are facing in war zones. | ||||||||||||||||||||

I have worked as an educator for 12 years and have focused on global education for the last five years. The role of education for a peaceful world has been stressed by many philosophers and educators. Malala says: “I truly believe the only way we create global peace is through not only educating our minds, but our hearts and our souls.“ Education for Peace draws from people their desire for peace, nonviolent alternatives for managing conflict, and skills for critical analysis of structural arrangements that produce and legitimize injustice and inequality. Maria Montessori stresses the role of pedagogy for world peace, when she says that “establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.“ Kofi Annan agrees: “Education is, quite simply, peace-building by another name, it is the most effective form of defense spending there is.“ Ghandi attributes an important role to education: “If we want to reach real peace in this world, we should start educating children.“ Mandela: “Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world.“ There are 60 Million educators in the world and 2 Billion young people. Nevertheless, too many high-level events in the world discuss peace without acknowledging the role of education. | Mareike Hachemer is a high school teacher, a UN and UNESCO delegate for The Role of Global Citizenship Education for the Agenda 2030 and the Role of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development, a UNAOC Fellow and jury member of the Global Teacher Prize.

An overview can be found at https://mareikehachemer.jimdo.com/ | I would share the following messages: We should actively involve educators in the peace process. Education for Peace starts at an early age. Schools shall be places of peace. We can teach students collaboration and peaceful collaboration, understanding for humanity. Hate is created through misguided teaching and learning and can be unlearned. We need to make sure our students become resilient, peaceful problem solvers. We need to start by creating school peace. We then need to connect our students to the world and help them overcome prejudice by teaching them peaceful ways of dealing with human differences and recognizing human similarities. We need to make sure that all kids have access to Quality Education (SDG4) We need to make sure that all 60 Million Educators and all 2 Billion young people know about the Global Goals, the plan that unites humanity. We need to focus learning on research for the Global Goals, empathy for other humans and actions for a peaceful world. We need to use technology to connect students to each other and to experts for sustainable development. And we need to make sure that all students experience physical and emotional safety at school. We need to make SDG 4.7 a reality by training teachers and telling everyone. Therefore we need funding for world class Education for Peace and Sustainable Development in all countries, everywhere. | |||||||||||||||||

I have been invited to speak on conferences that aim to foster growth trough peace building and social cohesion. Namely the African Youth Summit which was held in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia this summit was to provide a platform to foster communication because one of the major causes of war is lack of proper communication there is no tolerance because we have lost one thing that made us humans which is Humanity. We have become very self absurd and forgotten that we are one. Last year in November i was part of the World Youth Forum in Egypt there were more than 20.000 young people from all over the globe one message was conveyed ""We are one"" indeed if we dismantle the communication barriers and build a planet where we are our brothers and sisters keeper surely wars and conflicts will be a myth. | Bright Hlongwane takes a vision and makes it a reality through sound strategy development.

It was when the “Arab Spring” resulted in protests and unrest in many Arab cities, and I was sick of the lack of any innovative tools for youth to be engaged in politics in Palestine, especially on my campus.I was active in reaching out to Israeli youth through social media, which gave me the opportunity to express my political views and engage in conversation with people from Israel. I wanted to bring my experience to a larger group of young Palestinians. This led me to take part in founding YaLa Young Leaders, a social media network and online academy that is dedicated to empowering youth and forming a shared community among youth throughout the MENA region. I became the co-director of its steering committee, being involved in policy making as well as having responsibility for the Palestinian and other Arab participants.

Our approach not to asking for unilateral biased issues and to allowing anonymous open access participation brought us in contact with the conflicting parties. While we are able to comparing the bridging social capital (social values and perceptions shared by conflicting parties) - see this sample from Afghanistan/Pakistan - http://www.fes-connect.org/popular-posts/detail/bridging-social-capital-a-new-attempt-on-sdg-16-peace-in-afghanistan-and-pakistan/, we developed our approach to identifying similarities instead of dividing issues. In opposite to the mostly used legal and educational approaches to peace, our approach is not normative. Through our project we became a member of several UN working groups and in December were able to publish our first proposal to making Peace a business case for financing development in the UN IATF on Financing Development: https://developmentfinance.un.org/iatf-2018-report To summarize my activity: I achieved empirical evidence for the existence of bridging social goods (or social capital) that is the base for any peace and reconciliation. So to featuring SDG 16 as a business case means: considering the costs for conflict as transaction costs that can be diminished. Of course I hope to bringing this perspective to the UN Assembly. | Born in Munich, Bavaria, Germany in 1959, I studied at the Freie Universität in Berlin (Germany) where I achieved my PhD magna cum laude in Sociology in 1989. After working 20 years in the Software Industry (patent owner in digital imaging), I founded the Basel Institute of Commons and Economics in Basel, Switzerland in 2010 as a pupil of Nobel laureate Elinor Ostrom (1933-2012). The Institute is specialized on assessing non-material goods such as the commons and social capital. Within the UN community I lead the World Social Capital Monitor, a UN SDG Partnership Project where everybody can score the local social goods in 40 languages. I'm as well a contributor to the UN IATF on Financing development and 2018 report: https://developmentfinance.un.org/iatf-2018-report and as well to GSDR 2019: https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/globalsdreport/2019 I wrote 10 non-fiction books of whom 7 are still on the market.

One reason for the poor progress in many peace issues is the normative and unilateral approach to it: reclaiming a conflicting party to change their religion, tradition or culture is no base for reconciliation and dialogue. Neither are threats by war and sanctions. Unfortunately as well regarding peace as an ethical issue requires philosophical capacities few governments have. From our World Social Capital Monitor we learn that conflicting parties are sharing common values and social goods such as helpfulness, friendliness and hospitality. While peace and reconciliation are built on these goods - some call this social capital - we simply think: this is a business case. Why that? The costs for conflicts are finally transaction costs that of course can be diminished. SIPRI is estimating them by $ 1.69 bn per year. I say: a lot of seed and venture money for entrepreneurs and cooperatives at the following borders: Afghanistan/Pakistan Israel/Palestine Turkey/Syria Jemen/Sudan Ethiopia/Eritrea Azawad! (that's the country in between Mali, Burkina Faso, Mauretania and Niger) Serbia/Kosovo Ukraine/Donbass/Russia Georgia/Russia Burma/Bangladesh (Rohingya) Armenia/Azerbaijan Catalonia/Spain and many more. So we offer to launching a Social Capital Fund that invests in ventures across the borders of conflicting parties. In tourism. In agriculture. In town partnerships. And there will be zero regime change required for it. | ||||||||||||||||||

From Bogotá to Beirut and from Bujumbura to Banja Luka and beyond, World Vision's peacebuilding helps communities protect and empower children affected by violence. Our tools aim to help these communities resolve their own conflicts, build capacities to heal broken relationships, and nourish more just systems and structures. World Vision does not define peace as the absence of conflict, but the abundance of shalom. Psalm 34:14 urges people to ""seek peace and pursue it"". This ancient Hebrew term, shalom, connotes abundance, equality, respect, justice, well-being, and of course, peace. Peace is a concept shared across many faiths. An important first step is to prevent unintended harm. World Vision uses participatory methods such as Do No Harm (DNH) and Making Sense of Turbulent Contexts (MSTC) or GECARR to understand the root causes of conflict. These tools inform the design of aid activities that build social cohesion. In the long term, peacebuilding should contribute to good governance, sustainable and equitable economic development, peace and reconciliation, and civic empowerment. World Vision empowers children and youth in conflict areas, educating and mobilising them for peace. | Arelys Bellorini is currently United Nations Representative (Child Rights and Sustainable Development) for World Vision in New York. She led World Vision’s NY-engagement on the post-2015 development agenda that has evolved into the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which includes the Sustainable Development Goals. She now leads World Vision’s global engagement towards achieving the SDGs. In addition, she manages the organization’s relations and partnerships with key UN agencies, in particular UNICEF as well as the inter-governmental relations and civil society partnerships. Arelys Bellorini is a sociologist graduated from Columbia University in New York and holds Graduate degrees from New York University and the Nicaraguan National Autonomous University. She has extensive experience on multilateral organizations, programming, advocacy and policy influencing. She is an expert on children rights who has worked at country level in her native country of Nicaragua where she has led national programmes and strategies on the promotion and full realization of children rights. She also has extensive experience at sub-regional and regional level in Latin America.

The project aims to address the range of psycho-social consequences among children impacted by armed conflict and violence, providing trauma-relief, healing and empowerment, and restoring their overall physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. In addition, it aims to contribute to the prevention of recruitment, extremism and violent behaviour of children impacted by armed conflict and violence by strengthening human values, resilience and nonviolent empowerment. Finally, it aims to build the capacity of local actors and raise awareness among decision-makers to strengthen a culture and practice of human rights and dignity that provides for the specific needs and risks of children impacted by armed conflict and violence. We have now trained 68 young Peace Ambassadors who have come up with mini peacebuilding projects of their own and are currently implementing them based on the needs of their own communities. | I come from one of the Bedouin families of Jordan, and throughout the history of the Kingdom, our tribes have been known to be the backbone of stability in the nation. Due to this, I grew up around stories about the power of proper conflict resolution techniques, and the real impact of traditional tribal mediation skills. Unfortunately, ‘tribalism’ in the country is being seen as an obstacle to development. As a result, I felt the need to explore the history of conflict in this country, and the means used to resolve them. My research allowed me to present my thesis around the stability of Jordan, and how these traditional techniques enabled the nation to remain conflict-free. Today, as a continuation of my research, I have started a new project titled The Neo Bedouins, which will explore the positive attributes of Tribal culture such as mediation, conflict resolution, and the empowering role that women in history have played to strengthen the stability of our country. “The Neo-Bedouins” aims to become a platform for inter-generational dialogues that will 1. Pave ways to create lasting peace by combining tradition with modernity, 2. Collect regional success stories that will serve as ‘lessons learned’, and 3. Create a portal for stories, from both generations, to be able to preserve culture, record memories, and remind the region of what brings us together rather than what separates us. Apart from this this, I am currently working as a freelancer for a local production house that is launching an anti-violence as well as an anti-festive shooting campaign in Jordan. | https://web.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100017099914885 | Yes | Interactive Dialogue IV - UN Comprehensive and Integrated Approach to Peace | Yes | I have not engaged with the media, but I have spoken publicly in many local events and forums.

I have substantial work experience in the peacebuilding, the humanitarian and development sector across Africa, the Middle East and Asia. In previous roles I've worked in Government, and for the United Nations - but have worked for NGOs for the past decade. My experience across these different sectors is emblematic of the concept of Sustaining Peace. For over 20 years I've linked development and peace in my community interventions. I've supported community-initiatives to build peace at a local level, and at a national and regional level. I know what Sustaining Peace looks like in practise, and I have seen the challenges faced, and mistakes made. Sharing this perspective would be a powerful contribution to the UN High-Level event. Currently we are implementing a number of community security, peacebuilding and gender peace and security programmes under my watch. Additionaly as Saferworld is both a policy and programming organisation, we work to link international framework's like the SDGs with our on-the-ground peacebuilding programming. We are piloting such a program in East Africa, under my watch. During this work we are promoting a bottom-up to raise awareness among civil society actors, while pushing for buy-in by policy makers and political leaders - to try and increase the political will to implement the peaceful, just and inclusive societies aspects of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. | I have been Head of Saferworld's East Africa Programmes since 2016.

The way to Sustain Peace is to to build up understanding of conflicts rooted in people’s priorities, and to work in solidarity with people to help them: call for peaceful change; survive during conflict and maintain cohesion across conflict divides; and to rebuild their lives and their institutions after the guns fall silent. Finally, peacebuilding that works with, and through, society for constructive change needs a massive increase in support. | ||||||||||||||||||

That research took me into the depths of what I eventually discovered was a peace methodology developed in China 2300 years ago. It is known today (incorrectly) as The Art of War. Having discovered this, I then spent a very long time investigating who created this methodology and what it was used for. In my view, it was used to end the 200 year long Warring States period in what would become China. It then helped the king of Qin forge a nation from rival states - a national organization that lasts to this day. Since these discoveries, I have had a book published on the methodology, spoken at conferences and conventions on peace, and been tirelessly active on social media championing the cause of peace.I am also a volunteer in progress and good management initiatives and have just returned from a month long volunteer assignment in Mongolia (on behalf of the Canadian Executive Service Organization). I believe - personally and professionally that effective relationship management is one of the keys to achieving and sustaining peace. | I was born in Canada and have lived here all my life. I have travelled widely including trips to Asia and many times to Europe. I am married and have three grown children, all of whom live and work in the Ottawa, Canada area. My education was in the fields of sociology and anthropology with my specialty being aboriginal Canadians. My early work was in youth services including work as a United Way child services agency. From then I worked as a municipal chief executive, until I was recruited by Canada's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to join his staff in Ottawa.From then I moved into the public service where I worked as a manager - then executive - in strategic planning and Knowledge Management. My last post was serving as an executive with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, meaning I held top secret clearance from that organization.

That took me to conferences across Canada, and to the United States and England. In addition, I had led executive and staholder retreats (for mission planning as one example). I've served as a university lecturer at three institutions and as an on-line thesis advisor. My most recent communications experience was serving as a Webinar speaker - on the subject of peace - run by an international publishing organization. | I believe conflict prevention and peace making are taught and learned through messages and experiences that deal with both theory and practice. My focus will be on both: theoretical questions of what peace means (it's more then not being at war); and the practical, this being the success of one of history's greatest peace practitioners - Qin Shi Huang. His methods worked in incredibly trying conditions and I believe they can work again. And there is a diplomatic gain to be made here with a Canadian - speaking at the UN - and referencing China as a leading voice historically in the issue of peace. Canada has long been a keen supporter of both the UN and its peace keeping work. I would stress that my journey in understanding is a work in progress - and that I would welcome dialogue around the issues I raise. | |||||||||||||||||

With FGI I have been active promoting peaceful coexistence within and outside my immediate community, I have been involved in activities aimed at deepening Nigeria’s nascent democracy and once in a while I and my team carry out environmental advocacies around town. Following political instabilities, Nigeria was faced with a circle of security challenges especially militancy in the Niger Delta area, kidnapping in South Eastern Nigeria and insurgency (Boko Haram) in Northern part of the country. I always roll up my sleeves and busied myself in grassroot peace building shuttle diplomacy. My on-the-ground work experience is that the peace building efforts of the government and international agencies have their respective agenda with no consideration for the communities involved and their own agenda for peace. This underlined my work as a development professional working at the grass root level searching for the immediate and remote causes of communal peace and what the different community’s agenda for peace were. My discreet findings indicate that irregular and fraudulent designation of host communities remain at the root of this crisis, host communities across the nation are illicitly designated giving undue advantage one community against another – this is a challenge on the way to peace | Mr. Obuesi Phillips is 1999 law graduate of the prestigious University of Nigeria.

My experience has been exciting and noteworthy because of the burden of the office of the ambassador for SDGs. Before my decoration as ambassador for SDGs, I have had to air my views independently on the way I feel about the state of affairs in my country. However with the endorsement as an ambassador for SDGs, I become obligated to speak as quasi representative of my community. My writings are now more measured and mature because I speak to diverse population with mixed spectrum audience. Presently Community Agenda for Peace (CAP) is embarking on several SDG awareness programs including (1) Schools SDG tour (2) SDG drama challenge and (3) Make Songs – Save Lives. All these programs come with their own speaking engagement and opportunities to interface with the media (both print and broadcast media) through press releases, press interviews and organised press conferences. As a renowned public affairs analyst and commentator, I have had to contend with the rigours and demands of shuttling media house to media house expressing my views on extant socio-political, cultural and economic national issues. Link: silverbirdtv.com/uncategorized/21365/lagos-marathon-holds-on-october-1/ | I have admired the United Nations system from my youth, I still hold the belief that the UN is the single most important factor for global peace and security. I am therefore excited with this rare opportunity to speak at such a high level event. Having had dealing with the UN system at a much lower level in Lagos Nigeria, I have been under the impression that the UN system needs to liberalise the more especially in the area of dealings with non UN entities. I am convinced beyond doubts that strategic partnership with the United Nations in the fields for peace demands removal of bottlenecks and stringent administrative bureaucracies to allow both formal and informal relationships that are not only critical but also desirable if the UN leadership hopes to lead global citizens to step on the road to peace. My message and recommendations will revolve around the urgency of addressing the challenges of administrative bottlenecks which greatly reduces the efficiency and impact of the UN system in responding to the many threats to peace across the globe. As the UN leads the global quest for peace, the concept of an “elitist” UN system should be done away with. The fear of scandals, fear of abuse of relationship with the system, fear of misrepresentation by fraudulent people may be responsible for these fears and bottlenecks but in my estimation, the rewards of global peace far exceeds these fears… Unbridled partnership | |||||||||||||||||

My experience with the media has been through regular media workshops. https://www.facebook.com/pmrczambiathinktank/ In my interactions with the media I have come to understand that majority of the media want to have information processed for them and merely they will report based on what an expert said. I use various illustrations, mapping and infographics, that make information and data more appealing to the media . overall, I have had a positive and healthy working relation with the media, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4svj7qnPYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgjGqqP8aoU&list=PLRA0qilmkGT0hcAm38TO_MjVVJgGlzeBX https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azc4RK1SCOc&index=16&list=PLRA0qilmkGT0hcAm38TO_MjVVJgGlzeBX https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dS2-upOp5fA&index=24&list=PLRA0qilmkGT0hcAm38TO_MjVVJgGlzeBX | If selected for the speaking role, i would share the following messages under Interactive Dialogue 1V . I would profile how the security council has been working towards world peace. Further emphasize that the need for peace requires a comprehensive, concerted and determined approach that addresses root causes of conflicts. I would also address the critical role of interrelationships among peacemaking, peacekeeping and peace building. Another important aspect I would look at is the aspect of gender perspective into peace agreements involving women in all peace building measures. I would interrogate key conflicts in Africa and provide recommendations that would challenge the authorities on the need for lasting solutions, based on the UN’s comprehensive approach to peace One of my major recommendations would be that in order to further enhance the effectiveness of the United Nations in addressing conflicts at all stages, the security Council should consider ways to improve its cooperation with other United Nations bodies and organs directly concerned with peace-building, in particular the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council. Another major recommendation would be for the Security council to reaffirm that the quest for peace requires a comprehensive, concerted and determined approach that addresses the root causes of conflicts, including their economic and social dimensions. | ||||||||||||||||||

Youth are considered to be arguably the most affected; either as victims or as perpetrators of the myriad of violent conflicts in the world today. This minimalist interpretation has contributed in securitizing them as a rising threat to global peace and security. While it is obvious that a lot of youth are engineers and perpetrators of violent crimes, it is also true that majority of youth are contributing to peace building and they remain an essential instrument for sustainable peace. This new narrative supported by the United Nations Security Council challenges the former. The importance of engaging young men and young women in shaping lasting peace was recognized by the adoption of UNSCR 2250 in December 2015. This global policy framework spotlighted the nexus between youth, peace and security and also emphasized youth inclusion into institutions and mechanism for conflict prevention, resolution and building sustainable peace. This article primarily is aimed at raising awareness for this policy framework and also to call on all Local, States and the Federal Government of Nigeria to put their commitments into actions. There are five (5) main components of this resolution. These are participation; protection; prevention; partnership and disengagement /reintegration. | Olugbenga joined the Youth Initiative for Advocacy Growth and Advancement as a Research Assistant in 2015. He supports the Research and Outreach Officer with the development of dissemination and outreach strategy and contributes to ongoing research projects. Olugbenga graduated from University of Lagos with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Education. As a student, he participated in student-led peacebuilding and justice projects, supported the work of grass-roots campaigns. His interest in examining the impact of violence on the development of identity and behaviour in the context of citizenship, as well as his passion for building bridges between practitioners and researchers, drew him to the Generations For Peace Institute. In his free time, Olugbenga enjoys teaching Mathematics and English, exploring coffee shops, and singing. | @akintos_o | Yes | Interactive Dialogue II - Strengthening the United Nations Work on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace in the Field Interactive Dialogue IV - UN Comprehensive and Integrated Approach to Peace | No | Youths as agents of peace or weapon of mass destruction: On September 25, 2015, at the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit in New York, world leaders adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which includes a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These include ending poverty and hunger, improving health and education, making cities more sustainable, fighting inequality, building peace, justice and strong institution, combating climate change, and protecting oceans and forests. One of the 17 audacious goals that is central and holds all others together is the 16th goal- peace, justice and strong institution. Sustainable development cannot be realised without peace and security. In order to build sustainable peace, we must shift our condemnatory perspective of youths as a violent set of people, or better still, easy recruits for violence to a more fulfilling role as agents of peace-building. The starting point is to consider youths as the solution and not as the problem. We must stop depicting youths as victims or villains. The youths must not be seen as a lost generation; rather they are an “angry” generation due to the failure of the nation to address their issues. | |||||||||||||||||||

At the time I was working in the field as an electoral official. When the violence arose, I had been deployed to Kibra, one of the largest informal settlements in Africa, which is considered a hotspot region. When the results were announced by the Chairman of the Electoral Commission, there was an outbreak of violence with property destruction, looting and ethnic targeting. The mere fact that I had worked with the Electoral Commission which bore the brunt of the blame for the violence made it quite difficult to get across to the young people whose main goal was to ostracize the tribes that they felt had disenfranchised them politically and economically. As the politicians sought a political compromise and while many of my colleagues fled for fear of being killed, I stubbornly remained on the ground talking to the young people and trying to work out a peaceful solution which we eventually arrived at. I did not stay because I was braver than my colleagues but because I would rather die standing than live on my knees.I believe that it is because of the efforts explained herein that successive electoral commissions have always called me back to work with them during elections (2013 and 2017). | Maulline Gragau is a creative, innovative thinker, researcher, lawyer, peace ambassador and a business lady. As products of the educational system governed by market economy, most students have become correspondingly pragmatic-minded and regarded academic pursuit as a means of achieving material wealth. As far as she is concerned, she has stubbornly adhered to her deeply entrenched belief that the purpose of intellectual endeavours and the meaning of life are to speculate, to create and to contribute. With such a long-cherished motivation, she decided to study law – not just because she wanted to become a lawyer. Studying law made it possible for her to bring into full play her faculty of creativity and innovative thinking. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in law from Kenyatta University School of Law and completed her postgraduate studies at Kenya School of Law. She holds a Certificate in Criminology and Forensic Studies from Kenya Institute of Studies in Criminal Justice in Nairobi, Kenya. She has built her career in a variety of roles and industries, mostly in various organisations such as Digital Opportunity Trust – Kenya, Hamilton Harrison & Mathews Advocates, International Institute for Legislative Affairs, International Independent Boundaries and Electoral Commission, International Potato Center among others.

As a representative of youth in landscapes, my message was that proper management of the environment, both in the short and long term, is a key part of sustainable urban development. Yet often little attention is paid to how environmental regulations work in practice and what can be done to strengthen them especially in lower-income countries. Most leaders fail to understand that sustainable development and environmental conservation can only be promoted in an atmosphere of peace and stability. Ethnic strife, civil and cross-border wars must not be allowed to continue destroying human life and our fragile environment, in which sustainable development is supposed to be rooted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifr4n54RpdU | My message would be centered on embracing human diversity as a tool for encouraging peace. Biodiversity conservation should not be seen in terms of plants and animals only. It must include human beings. In many countries, people are becoming the most endangered species due to civil conflicts and wars, poverty, diseases and brain drain. Very few leaders have realised that there can be no peace and sustainable development where culturally diverse people of a nation have not evolved unity in diversity. Only when people can live together, work together, have mutual respect for one another and speak freely to one another can countries hope to protect their environment and establish sustainable development. The key factors behind this apparent lack of realisation is ethnic, tribal and or racial consideration in the method of governance and social relationships. Ethnicity, tribalism and or racism have largely been responsible for political mayhem in many countries. It has also been responsible for economic mismanagement and failure to evolve able and committed political leadership. Repression, civil conflicts and coups are usually inspired by ethnicity, tribalism or racism rather than by ideological differences. In spite of this glaring truth, many leaders still vigorously pursue the reckless colonial policy of divide and rule and yet dream that their diverse and divided people constitute a united nation. | ||||||||||||||||||||

SSR is the political and technical process of improving state and human security by making security provision, management and oversight more effective and more accountable, within a framework of democratic civilian control, rule of law and respect for human rights. SSR is closely related to the notions of peacebuilding and sustaining peace. It is because of this relation that DCAF has been closely associated to the development of the “Pathways to Peace” report as well as many other recent policy documents produced in multilateral settings. Also, under the leadership of Heiner Hänggi, DCAF is working closely with the Co-chairs of the UN Group of Friends of SSR (Slovakia and South Africa) as well as with the Office of the President of the General Assembly on raising awareness of the crucial importance of SSR for peacebuilding and sustaining peace in the context of prevention.

The SDSN's also recently launched a global massive online open course on environmental peacebuilding, co-produced with the SDSN's SDG Academy, UNEP, UNDP, and other actors. I produced this course. Complementing this work, I have been working on two additional projects at the intersection of the SDGs and peacebuilding. In partnership with colleagues at UNDP, I developed a policy platform which approaches the nexus of climate change and conflict through the lens of peacebuilding and the SDGs. This platform is fundamentally necessary to address both peace and sustainable development. A significant portion of climate-conflict nexus literature concludes that, rather than being a discrete phenomenon, the nexus is a reductive way of looking at a more complex system. Furthermore, no existing institution has the resources or expertise to individually address the relationship; it requires an interdisciplinary network of actors collaborating on the exponentially larger agenda of sustainable development. The second project approaches the field of Early Childhood Development (ECD) from the perspective of the SDGs, and adapts the UN's approach to climate change forecasting for the field of ECD. Investment in ECD has been shown to have the highest returns in terms of peace, prosperity, health, wellbeing, and a number of other factors when compared to other sustainable development investments. | Jessica Scott produces global online courses about the Sustainable Development Goals for the SDG Academy.

I was a participant at “Training on Peace building based on Human Rights education for students” organized by Youth Peace Ambassadors Network. I was a facilitator in the training course titled ""The Harmony of the sounds”. This training course was designed to promote tolerance among young people with different cultures and to involve them more actively in the peace building process. The ""Peace is..."" training course involved 36 young activists from 16 European countries were informed them peace and non-violence, as well as definition of culture of peace. The project of the “Trainers against Discrimination” led by Creative Development Center in cooperation with my organization. During the training participants were trained on raise awareness on the problems of integration and challenges related to minorities, and how to achieve stability. My individual project - ""Impact of conflicts on social life and youth activities"" organized with the support of Ministry of Youth and Sports, Artist Union of Azerbaijan, last year. The main objectives of the project were to highlight the impact of conflicts, genocides, terrorist acts on the lives and activities of people, to increase the participation of young people in conflict transformation and peace building activities. During the International Economic Security of NATO International School of Azerbaijan we discussed conflict resolution, peace, and economic perspectives with the young participants from 40 countries. | I was born on July 31, 1991 in a small town called Agstafa which is located with the border of Georgia and Armenia, adjacent of Nagorna Karabakh conflict region.

As a young person I think we should be main initiators in this issue. In the globalized and interconnected world I think we should use every opportunity to develop our skills on communication with our peers and this event serves as a good platform for this. Dialogue and mutual understanding are the only ways to solve our conflicts. I genuinely believe in the importance of intercultural dialogue and the positive impact it reflects on our societies for efficient dialogue is the only means to eradicating violence,extremism, intolerance and hatred. Cross-cultural dialogue makes us realize more and understand the true reason behind our differences, and hence get over the boundaries and misconceptions that sometimes the media and extremists work on making larger, and concentrate on our constant similarity; humanity. Participating in different youth conferences, I have observed a way of how young generations find alternative and better ways to solve global problems. I believe, it is very important to strengthen the voice of young people and increase their participation in global conferences. Such kind of initiative will foster security and stability among different nations, give an opportunity to see particular problems from different perspectives and develop solutions that will make the life of people safer and more beautiful. | ||||||||||||||||||

Addressing root causes is immensely important to halt continuation, escalation and recurrence of violent conflict which is happening many societies even after the formal end of war. A sustainable, community-owned reconciliation process with justice at its core should be explored with full recovery through reparation package. For this, a comprehensive, coordinated and coherent approach towards finding political solution to the political problem is the demand of the day. UN should effectively embrace “do no harm” approach which is guided by a genuine and multi-stakeholder conflict analysis on the ground. The triggering causes and drivers of conflict should be identified in advance and clustered accordingly. Since there is no short-cut to peace in a protracted conflict situation, non-military intervention with honest brokering to peace is highly desirable for a sustained peace and harmony especially in the multi-ethnic, multi-religious and sharply divided societies. Given that under-resourced, under-sized peacekeeping operations with weak rules of engagement have proved to be ill-suited to contain armed factions arising in the period following civil wars, it is vital to engage in dialogue with warring factions to ensure compliance with the rules of engagement to protect civilians. | ||||||||||||||||||

His passion for grass root Peacebuilding development work and responding to conflict grew from the remarkable experience of responding to the Ebola crisis in Liberia in 2014. At the height of the Ebola crisis, communities experienced rapid spread of the virus due to limited health education and awareness. I mobilized four teams of six persons, trained them on Infection Prevention and Control practices, printed t-shirts, developed poster messages like “If you are sick, tell the community leader so you can get treatment at the nearest clinic or hospital. Don’t wait. Remember, early treatment helps people to survive”, and we began to disseminate Ebola prevention messages and promoting handwashing and isolation of suspected victims by using basic homemade materials like plastic bags and tutoring community residents on proper mixture of the 0.5 and 0.05 solution use to disinfect. I led this voluntary initiative for two months and were able to reach out to approximately 2000 household in 12 adjoining communities. This was a local contribution to saving lives in a crisis moment. The focus of Idrisa’s work is geared towards grass root peace building, youth economic empowerment and advocacy.

Please see (https://www.facebook.com/groups/160203814542169/permalink/214748129087737/) | While much of the work of conflict resolution focuses on the government or public level, the resolution of contemporary conflict is very much a holistic process that is simultaneously conducted at the private, grassroots level. Many of the efforts under way to sustain peace in countries and regions beset by or emerging from violent conflict are undertaken by grassroots organizations formed by those whose lives are most directly and significantly affected by the conflict. These nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are playing an increasingly active role in dispute resolution and post conflict reconstruction and peacebuilding. Working and using formed groups in communities can be an asset to a sustainable financing for peace. Not just using these groups in communities but also training them as agents of change and forming them into cooperatives helps enable them to become more dependant and give them the sense of making things work right for them, because they are part of the community and are directly affected by the conflict. However this method uses less resources. | |||||||||||||||||

My passion is for bringing people together, especially through (food) culture and the power that it has to (often) transcend conflict. Traveling through a Servas-style homestay in Ghana, I was inspired to complement my academic research -- I founded Kitchen Connection, which is an online community where chefs and lay food lovers representing over 120 countries can host or participate in online and interactive cooking classes. The hosts of the classes (connections) can be paid, or choose to donate some or all of the funds from the class to the partner charity, Action Against Hunger and most recently, Whole Food's Whole Planet Foundation. We focus on one country every month, and in 2018, we are featuring countries that are the focus of the UN Together Campaign, with specific attention drawn to the implementation of the SDGs. We normally host an event at Whole Foods, educational institutions and the United Nations. Here are some examples of our events: Greek Month, Peru Month — both with the Greek and Peruvian trade commissioners/consuls in attendance, at the French Embassy, where we host francophone students to learn French through an interactive online cooking experience, at the UN Church Center, honoring Moroccan Argan Oil as a “Spice for Peace” for UN Day, and most recently with the UN DPI celebrating “Cacao as a Vehicle Towards Understanding.” | Earlene Cruz acquired a Master’s degree from the Gallatin’s School of Individualized Study at New York University, focusing on food studies and social entrepreneurship, for which Kitchen Connection was her thesis and now the focus of her career.

I have worked in the peacebuilding sector for universities and civil society organizations since 1999 and published widely on peacebuilding effectiveness at the local level. | Pamina Firchow is Assistant Professor of Conflict Analysis and Resolution at George Mason University. Her main research interests surround the study of the international accompaniment of communities affected by mass violence, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. In this vein, her work focuses on the design, monitoring and evaluation of transitional justice, reconciliation and peacebuilding interventions. Since 2013, she has been developing and piloting an inclusive and participatory measurement system called the Everyday Peace Indicators. This participatory measurement system is used to make claims about the effectiveness of local level interventions after war in Firchow’s forthcoming monograph, Reclaiming Everyday Peace: Local Voices in Measurement and Evaluation after War, which is forthcoming with Cambridge University Press. Dr. Firchow has received support for her research from the United States Institute of Peace, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Rotary Foundation, the Kellogg Institute for International Studies and the University of Geneva.

However, little concern is paid to interrogating whether the results from top- down, technocratic measurement and evaluation systems are measuring outcomes based on the values and needs of donors, governments and other elite interests, or whether they reflect those of the people the interventions are actually intended to assist. Using people’s own indicators of peace and reconciliation in communities affected by violence is an innovative alternative to existing measurement systems and addresses several of the unanswered questions and criticisms about how the international community can more effectively support localities emerging from conflict to work towards peace and reconciliation. Emerging from a long history of critical scholarship in international relations and peace and conflict studies, the EPI framework is sympathetic with bottom- up, participatory approaches. As such, it is a tool that seeks to assist communities, practitioners, and policymakers to question the assumptions that lie behind the existing peacebuilding measurement systems that may promote an overdependence on external interveners. The approach assumes all societies are hybrids and are based on long- running processes of negotiation and adaptation. | |||||||||||||||||||

This article analyses the challenges facing UN–AU cooperation on peace and security issues and examines their partnerships in various peace operations. Specific attention is paid to the crucial cases of Somalia and Mali, which exemplify some of the positive and negative aspects of this relationship. We argue that while great power politics and the international normative context have played important roles in structuring debates about peace operations in contemporary Africa, so too have two more bottom-up factors: the specific operational and financial challenges generated by the AU's big missions in Darfur, Somalia, and Mali, and the organizational cultures and bureaucratic constraints within which both institutions have had to work. Greater focus on these bottom-up factors could bring significant improvements to the decision-making processes in Addis Ababa and New York, to operational responses, and to the conduct of peace operations. | |||||||||||||||||||||

During that long period of absence, much has changed. On my return, I was appointed as CEO of Golis Telecom Somalia (2012), one of largest telecom operators in Somalia. Golis is also the largest employer in Puntland State of Somalia. The following 2 years were an eye opening for me and I became in direct contact with the blight of Somali youth at the time. Unskilled & hopeless, they were fleeing the country in thousands and were either dying in the Mediterranean Sea or kept hostage in Libya. After 2 years with Golis, I resigned from my post and instead opted to be Minister of Education of the State. Puntland is a semi-autonomous NE regions of Somalia, the real horn which connects both Red Sea and Indian Ocean. From January 2014 until end of my tenure in July 2015, I tried my best to change the curriculum and instead of usual years of primary, secondary and tertiary educations, I focused on technical training and skills creation. During that period, I visited many countries known for their trial in that regard such as Ethiopia, Uganda & Kenya. I also sought support from Kuwait, US (mainly Minneapolis MN and Seattle WA), Turkey, Sweden and even started to connect to IDB in KSA etc. My aim was to open chain of technical schools such as general polytechnic, veterinary, maritime and alike to help youth equip with necessary skills for employment. As I didn’t get the necessary pack up from State leader, I work with Ministry of Eduction for providing youth with skills | I have strong academic background and I came from educated family. My father, the late Haji Warsame Ahmed Gurey Jowjowle, was a jurist, judge, popular religious leader, thinker and community activist, and a politician who fought for the independence of Somalia in the 1940s-1950s. As a child, I grew up, and went to his primary school education in Mogadishu and Hargeisa, a uniquely multi-clan region of Somalia. During the short period as Minister of Education/Higher Education, he initiated and implemented major reforms in Puntland education, managing the Education Sector to oversee implementation of government policies on education, bringing major reforms in the education system of Puntland, implementing and advancing centralized curriculum, and final exams for all public schools, securing more funds for the Ministry's operational capabilities, connecting the Sector with international partners, donors of educational institutions, and the general public for accessible quality education to all in Puntland State. Under his capacity as the Minister of a major Government portfolio, he chaired major State, regional, and Donor international conferences on Education Sector in Puntland successfully. Currently I work with Puntland Ministry of Edcuation as a Goodwill Ambassadorfor education to help youth attain skills and get employed. Youth represent more than 70% of Somalia population today and they do need skills training for sustainable and peaceful future. My work impacts prevention of extremism and reducation of voilent crimes as well as getting hope for youth to produce. | @alihwarsame | Yes | Interactive Dialogue I - Sustainable Financing for Peace | Yes | From 2013 to the present, I have been heavily engaged with the local and national media for the purpose of creating public awareness about the plight of youth in Somalia and how they can risk themselves and the country if they are not taken care. According to UNFPA Somalia, ""Young people make up over 75 percent of the population in Somalia and 87 percent of the population is under the age of 25.” At the same time, nearly 65 percent of them are unemployed. That’s real time-bomb. That's what partially drives huge migraton of youth from Somalia, some of them dying in the high seas between Eurpoe and Libya. Others are lured to join the extremists in Somalia to avoid proverty and unemployment. The key for their future is creating skills for future employment, either for public or private sector or even becoming self-employed. Somalia is rich in livestock, marine resources and arable land, and with a coastal line of more than 3300KM, there is no single maritime or fishery school. I have had partial success in attracting private sector to invest in technical and vocational schools for short term but we do need post-primary schools for the areas of •Agriculture, •Fisheries, •Veterinary, and •Energy Kindly refer to my YouTube interviews including https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzu1zbm04_A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ffEZJUapyk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXUF6YiHMos | The main areas I would like to focus of recommend relate to the what I do call ""Rewarding Peace"", which is the support of areas in peace and harmony for conflict areas like Somalia to get peace reward in the form of development projects, youth and women support to earn their livelihood, to provide microfinance for technical professionals and to create technical and vocation training center as peace dividend. Youth in Africa, particularly in Somalia, represent 3/4 of the population and less then 34% are either employed or absorbed in the local economy. If they are provided with skills to get employed or self-employed, they will migrate or join organized crimes or extremist organization to earn decent life as they call it. I have had first hand experience in the impact of youth tragedy of both genders in Somalia and the positive impact of these youth when technical and vocational training are provided for them.

With supports in terms of training materials and kits from the United State Institute of Peace, Young Africa Leaders Initiative Network, and Search for Common Ground, we were able to train some youths in some rural communities.

At the academy, I was exposed to the concepts of intercultural dialogue, religious tolerance and conflict resolution and I left the academy determined to ensure that adolescents and young people (particularly girls and young women) play a vital role in fostering peace across their communities and eradicating all forms of violence - including gender-based violence. To facilitate a knowledge transfer immediately after, I organized a 1-day training for 50 students in Ile-Ife, a post-conflict community in South West Nigeria. This experience inspired me to establish ""Girl Pride Circle Initiative"" to advocate for girls rights to equal opportunities and violence-free communities, while empowering them to take active part in peace advocacy. In 2016, I led the implementation of ""The Girls Podium"" - a public speaking and advocacy training which has groomed up to 180 girls and empowered them to advance intercultural dialogue through theatre and media advocacy. 20 of the girls organized a stage play tagged ""One Nigeria"" to advocate against tribalism in Nigeria.

A case in point is from my country Nigeria, where the North East region has been callously ravaged by Boko Haram Insurgents since 2009 with over 20,000 lives lost and 2.4 million people (majority being women and young people) displaced so far. In 2016, President Muhammadu Buhari inaugurated the Presidential Committee on the North East Initiative charged with responsibility for developing the strategy and implementation framework for rebuilding the North East region. It is important to note that no member of this 21-person committee is below 40 years and only one civil society representative seats on the Committee. If selected to speak at the high level meeting on sustaining peace, my mandate will be unequivocal - to elevate the voices of young people who are routinely left out in decision making around peace processes, rebuilding and reconstruction strategies. I would recommend strategic investment in grassroots peacebuilding initiatives that are youth-led, as urged by the ""Partnerships"" pillar of Resolution 2250, and a more holistic approach to peace that includes typically excluded voices - such as women and young people (particularly young women). | |||||||||||||||||

The most proud impact is the rate of enrollment into schools and colleges. Like in 2014 only 45 students in a tribal area college but now there are almost 650 students are studying. In the results it has been successful in providing education, social, and awareness-building and I learn from this process conflict can be resolved among parties through different ways such as competing, collaborating, education, awareness and compromising. It is my life philosophy and core values is to go where nobody else will to make it happen like in the tribal areas of Pakistan, nobody willing to work because of terrorist attacks on them, but it is my passion and interest to work. | Ishtiaq was born in a destitute, minority and normal family, which belongs to the tribal area of Pakistan, named as Parachinar.

Young peoples have skills in leadership, negotiation, conflict resolution, communication, life skills and positive social change. There are more than 1.2 billion young people in the world today, the largest group in history and we know young people are key agents for social change and peace building. In Pakistan prospectus youth population is 64% of total population. So for peace building youth should design programme , implementation, and monitoring and evaluation, that communities consistently see an extraordinary impact because Those involved in youth engagement for peace-building can easily work extremely hard to engage youth beyond the affluent, easy-to-reach urban communities, especially when it comes to those more directly involved in violence, as perpetrators of violence and as victims of violence. To engage youth in peace-building in Pakistan it is very important that we must follow United Nations Security Council Resolution 2250. | ||||||||||||||||||

Most of this work is carried out in transitional, fragile or post-conflict situations. Some insights drawn are ongoing institutional strengthening work around the country and are presented to contribute to the emerging knowledge base and inform institutional development interventions. Building broad coalitions that increase mutual trust between government and communities has helped support institutional reform efforts, particularly at the grassroots level14. Inclusive governance is therefore critical particularly in fragile contexts where citizens may be marginalized, excluded or alienated from government.

I grew this sense of ability to speak in front of large crowds, and present awards and other things to people while so many are watching me. It feels amazing.

I will discuss about the need to really ACT upon this development; because over time, more resources are spent on responding to the outbreak of conflict than on preventing them from flaring up and escalating. As an advocate for peace, I will push for conflict solutions. The 2016 Resolutions recognise the need for predictable and adequate financing to assist countries in their efforts to sustain peace. As the General Assembly requested the Secretary-General to provide options. I intend drafting a well constructive roadmap on how to raise awareness about peacebuilding and sustaining peace in order to help strengthen the United Nations' work on peacebuilding and sustaining peace, which will take place on 24 and 25 April 2018.

Despite this, women have persisted with peace efforts within their communities and across hostile borders. Across the region, there is mounting evidence of women as powerful actors in sustaining peace in their communities and nations. Yet 17 years since UN Security Council resolution 1325, actions for women’s inclusion, leadership and protection faces serious challenges and lack of political will towards its implementation. To make matters worse, in many parts of the region such as Afghanistan, parts of India, Nepal, there is a roll back of whatever little progress was made earlier on the WPS agenda. At the same time, violent extremism is on the rise in the region with serious gender implications. At one level, extremist groups are piggy backing on existing patriarchies to target women- both as victims of violent extremism as well as the perpetrators, active accomplice and recruiters. Adopting a bottom up approach that speaks from women’s diverse local experience and community based peace activism in the region, the recommendation would bring in a South Asian perspective that seek to bridge the gap in international/global discourse on UN SCR 1325, build on it by incorporating CEDAW framework; access to justice; link WPS agenda with the issue of growing extremism, inclusion of women’s leadership role at every level, including young women as leaders at community level; need for financing of the WPS agenda; | |||||||||||||||||

UN since the time of inception has remained connected to the governments and states to enhance the implementation part of the dialogue and policies drafted over the past years. Keeping in view the India-Pakistan long lasting rivalry in the region, there is a stronger need from the UN to get involved and have strategic partnerships in the diplomatic peace processes in order to make sure that both the states are into the dialogue process on regular basis. Both countries have remained engaged in dialogue process at several levels including track 1 and 2 processes for decades. However we have observed that the role of the UN has remained at the ground with military observer group but not directly in bringing both sides to dialogue table. Over the past decades of the relationship between Pakistan and India, we have also observed that the role of the UN as an observer and not an active partner in encouraging or using the good offices to transform the relations to much better level. The dialogue process between both the states does emerge and initiated from both sides but that remain difficult to sustain. The right thinking individuals in both the states have continued to argue that there is a strong need to have a continues dialogue process between the two and that should not be halted at any cost. | - UN developing strategic partnership in the track 2 diplomacy to support the continuous dialogue process between India and Pakistan - UN can also develop lasting relationship between the civil society groups in the countries to engage in the dialogue. | |||||||||||||||||

The 21st century peace process is quite different from what we used to see in the past, this time around, conflict and wars are being caused by hunger, unemployment and injustice. To find a lasting peace, we need to find out innovative ways to curb this menace in the society. The Asabe Shehu Yar’Adua Foundation believes that basic root of all non-peaceful coexistence should be addressed from the local community then it goes up from there, encouraging the youth and elderly to take part in community policies, encouraging relationship regardless of race, discouraging prejudice and promoting diversity inclusiveness amongst all. The Sub-saharan Africa suffers a variety of complex problems ranging from inequality, corruption, national disunity, illiteracy and in recent time, large insurgency and this boils down to basic education. The system and method of education is not working because only a handful of the elite gets to be well-educated and this is so because of their influence, making this large population a very soft target as tools for political violence, terrorism, drug addiction and many other vices and this simply boils down to the fact that this set of people are poor and ignorant. In order to innovate ways for peaceful practice, we need to accommodate and take care of that population. | ||||||||||||||||||

Within the framework of this project our team helped to resolve the conflict and controversial issues arising above the Isfara River that flows between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Relations between the two countries deteriorated due to the use of water, responsible parts for pollution of the river and others. By establishment of a River Basin Council involving representatives of both countries and installation of measuring instruments on the river, we helped to improve relationship and cooperation between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.

The specific objective of the project was to support cross-border security and cooperation, by improving Integrated Border Management in northern Afghanistan.

The peace factor must be used to resolve prime issues such as: (i) the persistent poverty of people, especially those in rural areas; (ii) the social injustice that continues to prevail in our societies and the often divisive, and counter-productive ways of governance.

It is spiritual, cultural, environmental, economic, political, judicial and technological.Peace starts with each person then to the immediate human family.

Because women are the central caretakers of families in many cultures, everyone suffers when women are oppressed, victimized, and excluded from peacebuilding. Their centrality to communal life makes their inclusion in peacebuilding essential. Because women have the capacity for both violence and peace, women must be encouraged to use their gifts in building peace. The ultimate goal is to achieve gender equality and to build sustainable peace and security. Therefore, Mainstreaming a gender perspective in peace building is a process of assessing the implications for women and men of all planned action, including legislation, policies or programmes, in all areas and at all levels including the United Nations. Women’s roles in peacebuilding across conflict areas, in the last decade, highlight the importance of moving women beyond the “humanitarian front of the story.” Women have and can continue to influence peacebuilding processes so that they go beyond defining peace as the absence of violent conflict and focuses on the principles of inclusion, good governance and justice. Women need to be present to discuss issues such as genocide, impunity and security if a just and enduring peace is to be built, They need to be in the field as agents of Peace and in partnership with the United Nations. | ||||||||||||||||||

Poverty cannot be totally eradicated as it is caused by both environmental and human factors. Over the past years, there has been a lot of poverty alleviation programs designed to break the cycle of poverty in many households and communities in the world. The result is remarkable, but there is still a lot to be done. On the basis of theoretical framework and data analysis and field level experience, we find out that micro investment scheme under Islamic microfinance is an effective model to eradicate poverty, where the main mode of financing of micro investment is by Bai Mu’ajjal method that means selling goods in due. The World Bank Organization describes poverty in this way: Poverty has many faces, changing from place to place and across time, and has been described in many ways. Most often, poverty is a situation people want to escape. So poverty is a call to action for the poor and the wealthy alike, a call to change the world so that many more may have enough to eat, adequate shelter, access to education and health, protection from violence, and a voice in what happens in their communities. | Institutionalization and Effective Management in NGOs A Society is an outcome of different Institutions. To build an institution, it requires a good leadership with a philosophy and some core values. An individual cannot achieve one’s goal and objectives by himself (alone). That’s why, we need to establish Institutions. Though the title of this paper is “Institutionalization and Effective Management”, but it also deals how to develop an ideal and professional institution. Institutional development is a complex, messy, risky and experimental area, with tangible results emerging only over a long period of time. It therefore calls for an approach with a long-term perspective, paying full attention to the endogenous dynamics, energies and stakeholders involved in change processes. Development agencies will have to rectify some of their ‘old habits’. If they do not, they may quickly lose their capacity to generate genuine value, based on adaptability and responsiveness. Where the term “Institutionalization” refers to the process of embedding some conception. within an organization, social system, or society as a whole. The term may also be used in a political sense to apply to the creation or organization of civil society organizations or governmental institutions responsible for overseeing or implementing policy, for example in welfare or development. | ||||||||||||||||||

I primarily focused on failing cities, and African Countries where there is genocide, civil wars and my goal was to create tools that local decision makers can use to mitigate and resolve conflict. Furthermore ,my experience and passion for building peace compelled me to return to my violent ,impoverished community and start initiatives on peace where l first had to educate people about the spirit of ''Ubuntu’ ‘ . In South Africa ,Ubuntu is a fundamental constitutional value which means ''you are because l am’ ‘It is an important value which exposes the interconnectedness that we share as human beings despite our race ,ethnicity and gender .Ubuntu is a guiding principle of a way of life in African communities and it relates to peace tremendously. Since Ubuntu can be felt and seen in the spirit of willing participation, unquestioning cooperation and personal dignity demonstrated by indigenous black people, l then relied on the concept to address justice issues and used story telling for xenophobia victims as a tool for peace - building through experiential process of experiencing techniques to be taught to others. | With a bleeding heart, baffled and with countless questions, feeling weak and in pain after the death of my father who was the sole parent l was left with since my mother's unexpected death in 2005 when l was 13 years old. I was angry and bitter when l witnessed the xenophobic fellow South Africans stabbing my father to death for the mere fact that he hid Congolese women who were escaping Xenophobia from their shops and were in need of a place of safety. My father's death led me to seek peace in my heart and mind first, before building peace in my community. Thus l began reading most of peace building books and listened to heart-warming conversations where l one day listened to Oprah's soulful conversations and heard her say ''turn your wounds into wisdom’ ‘These words drove me to use my pain in joining and forming peace initiatives, and returning to school to complete my bachelor of laws degree in order to equip me to fight injustice effectively..

I think it is the high time that the United nations should prioritize funding for peace buildind in order to effectively address the root causes of conflict to sustain peace in poor communities struggling with poverty ,inequality and unemployment.The role of young people and women in this cause ,is of utmost importance. | ||||||||||||||||||

In addition, I have guest lectured and been the featured speaker at several smaller event series with universities and civil society groups. | As a rights-based organization we strongly believe in the participation of affected communities in decision-making on policies that affect them. Plan International advocates for and supports recognition of children and youth as agents of change who play active roles in shaping their lives, including in contexts of fragility and conflict. Yet, young women and girls in particular, face both age and gender related barriers, including discrimination, mobility restrictions, and insecurity. Young women are disproportionately impacted by fragility and conflict due to these intersecting age and gender based vulnerabilities. Their opportunities to participate in community life, and both formal and informal peace and security processes and conflict prevention strategies, remain restricted due to social and gender based norms, and other gender related obstacles such as increased unpaid domestic labour and care work, including childcare responsibilities. When facing insecurity, young women may choose not to travel, or be prohibited by parents and families, and thus may miss out on educational opportunities, much needed services, and significantly may miss the opportunity to engage in peace and security processes, even when invited. | |||||||||||||||||||

I provided my students with Leadership Skills where they could build relationships and negotiate in a way that inspires hope and promise. I allowed my students to excel in these skills so they can use them as ""Tools"" to build a tomorrow based on mutual peace and respect. My message is Education is the key to peace. Developing our young with the skill sets to be positive leaders in the key. When students feel empowered to lead and find their words and their actions can play a viable role in peace building, they begin to own up to that responsibility. The next step is is allow them to play a role in providing solutions to conflicts and world problems. Our students are creative, passionate and dynamic.

These include OEF programs providing multilayered engagement in Somalia including economic development for peace (the Shuraako program), maritime security capacity building (the Oceans Beyond Piracy program), and coastal community capacity building (the Secure Fisheries program). Outside of Somalia, OEF’s work includes support for the Colombian peace process (the PASO Colombia program) and engagement with evidence-based practice for security (the OEF Research program). Before OEF, Mr. Sampler led the USAID Office of Afghanistan and Pakistan, where he developed funding strategies for a $3Billion+ economic development portfolio to support good governance and sustained peace in that region. Mr. Sampler’s work in sustainable peace has focused on programs which use integrated measures including economic development, community engagement, security capacity building, and international assistance to develop coordinated and systematic approaches to peace and security. At OEF, he has developed this approach to support multi-stakeholder systems for peace and security which attempt to engage with the whole of society in fragile and conflict-affected societies rather than relying on single sectors or institutions to address issues leading to conflict. | Donald “Larry” Sampler is president of One Earth Future, providing strategic direction and growth-focused leadership to the foundation in its efforts to develop programs encouraging peace through collaborative, data-driven initiatives. He brings his considerable experience in the private sector and in post and intra-conflict missions of both the Organization for the Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the United Nations. Prior to joining OEF, Sampler served as Assistant to the Administrator at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in the Office of Afghanistan and Pakistan Affairs (OAPA) leading USAID’s efforts for two of the agency’s largest missions. Sampler has substantial experience in conflict and post-conflict environments working for USAID, the U.S. Department of State, the Institute for Defense Analyses, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan and the OSCE mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Sampler graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT) with a degree in Physics.

He has worked with media engagement and communication teams at USAID and other institutions to develop skills at public speaking and media engagement. | The three key messages Mr. Sampler would share are: 1.There is no meaningful distinction between good governance and sustainable peace: successful peacebuilding requires the creation of effective, accountable, and inclusive systems of government in addition to security services. 2.Creating these systems requires a focus on inclusion. The inclusion of women at all levels is directly and materially related to improved performance, as is the inclusion of stakeholders from multiple sectors including civil society and the private sector. 3.When systems are working well, positive feedback loops can form between good governance, economic development, and peace where each element reinforces the other. The challenge is moving the system to critical mass. | ||||||||||||||||||

I learned that peace cannot be sustained without structures that involve everyone and help them come together, decide, work together, and make their contributions. Peace is a process that ensures everybody his/her space and voice. Years later I learned that Father Edwin John in India had discovered the same fundamental pattern. Both men, although unaware of each other, were clear that we cannot have peace by simply adjusting the existing structures, which divide and separate people. I studied and began teaching sociocracy ranging from companies to impoverished communities, and in 2007 wrote the first book in English about it. I continue to teach and implement a structural approach to peace in countries throughout the world (as do a number of the people I've taught). Since encountering Edwin about 10 years ago, I've facilitated both movements in talking to each other and sharing their methods. For example, both show how to elect people to roles and responsibilities without dividing them into majorities and unhappy minorities. Both advocate organizing neighborhoods as the basis of a bottom up structure for society. I was very honored when asked to take the role of NCN Director of Development. It will enable me to develop global peace structures and processes that enable everyone to work together for the common good such that they no longer have reason to fight against one another. | John Buck has been a member of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) for about forty years and an active advocate for peace through structures and processes that ensure everyone has space and a voice. His career has spanned development of a computer-based instruction system for the Federal Aviation Administration, manager of a highly successful 200+ person team under contract to the U.S. Department of State to install computer systems in U.S. Consulates, and a consultant teaching teaching and implementing sociocracy in organizations and neighborhoods throughout the world. He coauthor of We the People: Consenting to a Deeper Democracy, a 2007 book about a sustainable system for structures and processes. In 2018 he coauthored another book: Company-Wide Agility with Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, & Sociocracy that shows how trust, inspiration, and structures and processes that create equivalent voices in the running of organizations can lead to a peaceful world by focusing on the common good and removing the sources of conflict. The book points the way for companies to become contributing members of a peaceful society. John Buck is an experienced speaker who knows how to inspire audiences by involving them and capturing their imagination. He recently delivered a TedX talk at the University of Maryland whose theme was inspiring students to build structures and processes that promote peace. He is collaborating with Fujitsu's Advanced Software Lab to develop Weaver, a software app that supports the creation of peaceful, collaborative structures and sociocracy processes. | @johnabuck | https://www.facebook.com/john.buck.7549 | Yes | Interactive Dialogue II - Strengthening the United Nations Work on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace in the Field Interactive Dialogue III - Strategic Partnerships with the United Nations in the Field for Peace Interactive Dialogue IV - UN Comprehensive and Integrated Approach to Peace | Yes | I have extensive experience in presenting multi-day workshops about sociocracy and the Neighborhood Parliament system internationally, including South Korea, India, Spain, Portugal (where I co-presented with Edwin John of India), Netherlands, United Kingdom, United States, Mexico, and Canada.

In addition to the two books mentioned above, I have written numerous short articles for blog sites such as Linked-In. You can find a longer article at: http://bit.ly/2FQWOUv | Topic: On peace building and sustainable peace Key messages: - Peace cannot be sustained without structures that make everyone involved and affirmed. People need structures to come together, talk and work together and thus build a world of peace. - Peace requires that everybody has his/her space and voice that can be heard. This too calls for relevant structures that are small enough and linked enough that everybody feels it is his or her world. - We cannot have peace by adjusting existing structures, which separate people into bigger and smaller, majority and minority, more powerful and less powerful. We envision a planet where no nation has to prove that it is bigger. We need bold thinking. - The structure for world peace could begin at the base as Neighborhood Parliaments of about 30 families each. About 30 such Neighbourhood Parliaments could each select a representative to become a higher level federation. And so forth. - Such experiments have begun at the grassroots in India, Netherlands, USA, and in intentional communities around the world. Inclusive Neighbourhood Children’s Parliaments in India federates six levels and its national child prime minister has spoken at UN. Recommendations: - Train children throughout the world in Neighborhood-based Sociocracy. - Train adults throughout the world in Neighborhood-based Sociocracy. - Involve political parties, companies, and organizations in the development of bottom up systems so that everyone belongs. | ||||||||||||||||||

Ogbanga, Abstract The persistent attacks in recent times by the Fulani herdsmen in parts of North Central region of Nigeria have taken unprecedented dimensions which stimulate scholarly attention. This rural violence has resulted in the killing of several rural farmers which has implications for rural vulnerability and food crop production. This paper is a conceptual and theoretical analysis of rural violence in North-Central Nigeria. The study deployed a political economy framework and relational content analysis (RCA) methodology. It examined relevant secondary data and field experience from six (6) Local Government Areas(LGAs)in two States in the North Central Nigeria namely Nassarawa and Benue States between the period 2000 to 2016.The aim is to identify and analyze the incidence and dynamics of the rural violence, as well as salient dimensions of the unfolding violence . In particular, it chronicles the economic realities of the violence including rural livelihoods vulnerability ,food crops destroyed and economic disempowerment .The study suggests that the conflict had taken complex dimensions and made some recommendations for rural violence and conflict mitigation. Keywords: Rural Violence, Fulani Herdsmen, Killings, Rural Development, Nigeria 1.1 Introduction The nomadic cattle herders and their attacks on rural farmers is not peculiar to Nigeria. | ||||||||||||||||||

It is a willingness to learn why and how another person acts and believes without diminishing our own self-worth. It is communication – between young and old, refugees and citizens, races, economic classes, genders. Peace prohibits judging another person or culture. It involves knowledge which comes from listening and learning. The interrelation between peace and social justice is critical. To have true peace, it is essential to end homelessness, hunger, gender and race inequality – that we actuate the 17 SDGs of the UN. Peace is fostered through the arts – literature, theater, music, film - which explore human thought and help us appreciate our unique experiences. Peace is brought about through travel and hosting, virtual or real – understanding geography, climate, history, literature, social relationships. Travel helps us appreciate the complexity of human life, and our common need for food, housing, love, acceptance. Meeting people from diverse cultures and backgrounds enables us to join in a common bond for the welfare of all life. It not enough to promote peace and social justice. We must also have the will and self-confidence to become articulate in writing and speaking against injustice and greed. To those who would destroy our world, , we must find ways to contain their actions. We have the technology to reach people across the world – and we must demand good leadership, expose corruption, maintain open media. | ||||||||||||||||||

I feel so very blessed, and it was a wonderful experienced to become a leader. Working together with the volunteers, and partners to do together is always something that I look forward. My experiences tell me that the majority of victims, and affected in the community, are most often, children, and women. It is sad that there are women in the community who are not strong enough to defend their self and do not have the courage to stand their rights for fairness and justice. It is an issue affecting all of us. Truthfully, working with the community for women was not that easy. Most of the time, I felt very emotional when they tell their story of violence they received from their husband and other men who are members of New People’s Army (NPA). I decided to become active in serving where I’m involved in giving counseling and training to women who are victims of violence, and crime. I share with them my teaching, my purpose and endurance to uplift their spirit until they recover. | Dr. Renalyn C.

I have managed a business for more than nine years and an NGO for more than four years. These two realms of engagement lent a reconciliatory insight to peace as the relationship between the businesss world and the Society meet as a junction of State/Society relations, individual and collective needs etc that supplies enought research insight to to what is required for sustainable peace and social wellbeing. Mediating between between these worlds and creating such meanings that allow informed and equal relationship thus became an aim. This i pursued via the generation of a sociological insight on de facto nature of the countries economic conditions, the opportunities it offers and human capital development resources open to individuals-especially the youth. Recently, i have been helping communities organize and promoting graduate studies centered on social entreprenuership. This is aimed at generating the needed level of intellectual and student activism that would challenge the inertia of the familiar and tilt social responsibilities away from redundancy. Creative unificiation of meanings-sources of individual and collective differences in a multi-ethnic state like Nigeria and a humus on which divisiveness can be planted is a principal pursuit of my approach to literacy. This is pursued after i discovered that meanings enjoy eco-chamber reverbrations that fertilizes the ground for conflict. | I believe that lifelong learning and strong integrated view of the world centered on curiosity, persistence and hard work offers the most sustainable existential stance in a world of increasing complexity. I think that such a transformed perception calls for a regenerative insight and new sets of perceptual lenses. These insights have shaped my engagement with Education, Business and in the management of a Non-Profit Organization whose affairs I have directed for more than four years. Towards these values, i undertake thematic trainings for efficient and innovative campaigns for startup NGOs and community organizing groups in the areas human rights and advocacy-lending insights for a bottom-up policy activism as well advising Top-down Policy insights on the resonances at the grassroots. The uniqueness of my experiences feeds on a participatory insight that lends practical experiences on social processes and highlights the importance of richer engagement with meanings. In a cultural reality where the knowledge gap and social dynamics hinder effort at value-based leadership and entrepreneurship, this engagement had lent invaluable insight to my professional growth and had provided practical guidance for decision-making.

I am .In attending to the field work of the organization, my desire for and knowledge of multi-modal articulations had been of great asset. This is most felt in the need to create meanings that keys notions into a more general context. I possess the knowledge of generating coherent research picture of any social phenomenon in a simple and usable method and organizing thematic conferences and workshops responding to contingencies and policy needs. I have unpublished vides of my lectures. The facebook link will also lend insight to this. | Internalizing the Traditional Values of Peace through direct engagement with community organizing: The above springs from a researched insight from my part of the world- which supplies emprical lense to the fact that understanding of order and control is not internalized. Such internalization that springs from a sense of responsibility. Pursueing the Internalization of order by direct UN engagement wiith organized community groups will internalize such sense of responsibility that produces sustainable peace. Currently, community organizing at the grassroot level feed from contingencies that does not make for sustainable peace.How realities in the communities are reproduced becomes evidently important to the pursuit of peace as these realities are autopoietically reproduced and requires a fresh such engagement that redirects the communications on which the realities are reproduced. Bringing people to partucipate in shaping the future of their communities will lend such level of responsibility that empowers collectivism- a fact that is copiously lacking in the local communities. | ||||||||||||||||||

Struggle for women legal rights by National Commission on the Status of Women. | I come from one of the most traditionally conservative regions of Pakistan, born in Quetta Balochistan and since 24 years living and working in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The region is notorious for the subjugation of women. It not only incorporates habitual discrimination against women in its day to day life by not allowing women to enter public spaces, but also into its traditions and culture. In addition, due to religious extremism and internal conflicts between the state and extremist’s elements women’s are invisible in many public places particularly peace talks and policy forms. In this conservative environment, I first decided to pursue a legal career, I graduated from Law College, during two years’ a period I was one of student representative among 16 male students. I selected legal career, pursuing litigation, my experience forced me to reflect on the subordinate and powerless position women hold, explicitly in the justice sector and in the manner in which justice is dispensed to women. I get interested in researching such developments in the legal field. Along with my activism, I am doing researches and legal reviews . My specific area in the research I have reviewed a number of laws with a special focus on women and extremism. Having experienced working on firsthand research on women’s legal rights, as well as due to my own experiences in seeing the effects of a discriminatory legal system on women, my commitment to working on human rights and women’s issues has always constant no matter what work I am doing. | Rukhshanda Naz@RukhshandaNaz | https://www.facebook.com/rukhnaz | Yes | Interactive Dialogue II - Strengthening the United Nations Work on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace in the Field | Yes | https://www.womensregionalnetwork.org/video ,Global Compact for Migration/Thematic Session 2, Presented Women’s Regional Network Statement on “Internal Displacement one of the divers of migration” as a responded to the Panel 2- Human-made crisis as drivers of migration on May 22,2017.Amnesty International Japan Speaking Tour 2013: Fighting for Freedom: the Women under Violence and Discrimination in South Asia.

May 2007 | Across the region, the security agenda of states has undermined the rule of law and accountability. Escalating defence expenditures, declining social funding and predatory development models that exploit national resources and marginalize and displace communities have deepened structural inequalities. To the international community that it should: Ensure that women are present and have a voice in defining priorities for peace and transition processes overseen by international agencies and particularly the United Nations; Make support—diplomatic, financial and technical—contingent upon the inclusion, representation and full and meaningful participation of women in peace and transition processes; Promote women’s rights based on existing conventions and resolutions, such as the Convention to Eliminate all forms of Discrimination Against Women and the UN Security Council Women, Peace and Security Resolutions, namely, UNSCR 1325 and the supporting resolutions; Build capacity and offer assistance to national governments to comply with international norms and conventions relating to accountability, access to justice, human rights and gender equality. Strengthen women and right based organisations to play their role to promote peace and inclusion of women in peace and reconciliation processes and ensure that the member states should have gender sensitive reconstruction plans for the conflict areas. | |||||||||||||||||

During my tenure as Secretary-General, I have reshaped the strategic direction of Oxfam IBIS, with peacebuilding now a core aspect as a cross-cutting issue and a standalone area, with a special focus on women and youth related to security. I am a scholar-practitioner in peacebuilding and human rights with 20 years of practical experience from conflict affected contexts in Africa, Asia and Europe who engages with high-level policy-makers, grass-root NGOs, politicians, as well as bureaucrats. Previously as director of research project with the Centre for Resolution of International Conflicts at the University of Copenhagen, I developed the ‘Conducive Space for Peace’ initiative. The initiative seeks to engage with key stakeholders such as the UN and Member States, strongly leveraging on and contributing to the existing UN reform agendas on sustaining peace preventing violent conflict. It emerged from conversations among policy-makers and practitioners within the United Nations headquarters, donor organizations, international and national stakeholders in conflict-affected contexts. A 24-month pilot initiative, its objective is to develop and contribute to new ways of collaboration on peacebuilding and more effective approaches to funding and programing that will better support local/national efforts to promote sustainable peace and conflict prevention. | I have over 20 years of experience working in peacebuilding, across Africa and Asia, with both donor organizations and civil society organizations. Prior to joining Oxfam IBIS, I served as Co-Director of a 4-year research project on Human Rights and Peacebuilding. Prior to that, I worked with the Danish Institute for Human Rights and worked in Nepal as a Senior Advisor on Conflict Transformation and Human Rights with the Danish MFA. Prior to that I held a range of positions with the Danish Institute for Human Rights and other NGOS working on peacebuilding, including the Carter Center. | @MieRoesdahl | Yes | Interactive Dialogue II - Strengthening the United Nations Work on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace in the Field Interactive Dialogue III - Strategic Partnerships with the United Nations in the Field for Peace Interactive Dialogue IV - UN Comprehensive and Integrated Approach to Peace | Yes | As Secretary-General of OxfamIBIS, I frequently engage in public speaking events with various audiences (government, civil society, public) as well as with international and danish media. | International efforts to promote development and peacebuilding have had mixed results, and one aspect that must be strengthened relates to the institutional framework and practices embedded in the aid architecture. For the international peacebuilding architecture to be effective, we must jointly find concrete, practical ways for affording greater influence to local peacebuilders to shape activities and outcomes. This has implications for all aspects of the development and peacebuilding architecture - ranging from HR practices to funding to reporting to planning. In many instances, what works in one context may not be applied or adapted to the next. We must manage these complexities jointly, and place local peacebuilders at the centre of the process, rather than expect change only through high-level policy debates. My message would also focus on the CSP initiative. The CSP initiative’s innovation lies in its multi-strand and multi-level nature and focus on the systemic challenges in international support to peacebuilding as well as addressing the question and practicalities of how to bring about institutional change rather than simply identifying what challenges exist. | |||||||||||||||||||

The question has no simple answer, particularly in situations of or after violent conflict. We also need to understand how a more inclusive experience encourages people to participate in transformative conflict resolution, rather than to choose violence. We offer considerations that are crucial in operationalising the UN’s Sustaining Peace Agenda and the Pathways for Peace report. Our research on service delivery in Uganda, Nepal, Pakistan, South Sudan, DRC and Sierra Leone highlights that grievance mechanisms are important. And yet, often grievance mechanisms fail to address exclusion. Changing the experience of inclusion and exclusion is something of a black box and particularly difficult because it involves perceptions. Conflict prevention, which plays such a central role in both the Sustaining Peace agenda and the UN/WB report on ‘Pathways for Peace,’ also requires inclusive processes and explicit challenges to exclusive structures. This speaking contribution calls for a rigorous understanding of how perceptions, decisions, structure and behaviour interlink to create an experience of exclusion. Peace building programmes tend to draw on assumptions of what ‘inclusion’ looks like; how this inclusion is experienced is in reality less clear. This contribution outlines how we achieve the necessary understanding. Implementing the UN/WB agenda will require questioning the assumptions on which many peace building programmes rest. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Before becoming Country Manager of International Alert Philippines, I was Deputy Country Manager and Head of Mindanao Operations for 7 years. I led the development of our conflict-sensitive economic governance (CSEG), premised on the need to govern economic actions so that it mitigates tensions and violent conflicts. I developed the CSEG curriculum and bespoke trainings for different audiences. I facilitated multistakeholder dialogue processes and capacity-strengthening of governments, community leaders and corporations, and the establishment of issue-based multistakeholder groups. I oversaw development and implementation of Alert’s sub-national conflict monitoring system that tracks incidences, causes and human costs of violent conflict to inform evidence-based policymaking, development strategies and peacebuilding in Mindanao. I then developed an analytical frame on conflict strings that examines the propensity of certain conflict causes (political, shadow economy, governance and resource-based) to escalate and produce strings or violence. This contributes to the development of effective hybrid conflict management strategies that can resolve these strings before it escalates. I work with the private sector and local governments to galvanize their sustained support for the peace process and preventing violent extremism. | I hold an undergraduate degree in Sociology from the University of the Philippines and an MSc in Development Studies from the London School of Economics with a scholarship from the Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program. I have published papers on topics from business and peace to the politics of complex emergencies in natural disasters. I co-authored the chapter ""Robustness in Data and Methods: Scoping the Real Economy of Mindanao"" in Alert's publication Out of the Shadows: Violent Conflict and the Real Economy of Mindanao, which won the 2017 National Book Awards in the Philippines. I'm a daughter of Mindanao who is not just a worker but a stakeholder in this difficult and highly volatile work of building sustainable peace and inclusive development in my country. I grew up witnessing oppression, injustice and violence during the period of the Marcos dictatorship, which was followed by long years of protracted conflicts in Mindanao. My parents joined the underground movement during the Marcos period and at a young age they instilled in me an unbending faith in the possibility of a better future. My work has allowed me to engage multiple stakeholders, re-examine frameworks and strategies to find innovative ways by which communities are able to negotiate from a position of strength, whether in peace processes, on their access and control of resources, or their participation in conflict resolution and building resiliency against the influence of violent extremism. | Yes | Interactive Dialogue II - Strengthening the United Nations Work on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace in the Field Interactive Dialogue III - Strategic Partnerships with the United Nations in the Field for Peace | Yes | Presentations to local governments, national agencies, key political and economic actors, to the diplomatic community, and engaging with media is part of my remit. I present our analysis on violent conflict in Mindanao using data from our conflict monitoring system to various audiences and represented Alert in national and international media on conflict-sensitive business, illegal guns, extremism and violent conflict in Mindanao: • http://bit.ly/2GDnMwV • http://bit.ly/2phz0zs • http://bit.ly/2nqX98n • http://bit.ly/2DxH2Zo • http://bit.ly/2HDv56N • http://bit.ly/2G1d8lC I spoke on national TV about conflict trends in Muslim Mindanao: • http://bit.ly/2FQJWdS • http://bit.ly/2phUtIv Alert conducts targeted advocacy in support of increased autonomy of the Bangsamoro. I represent Alert in sustained briefings to key Senators and Congress persons towards developing champions who will push for a Law that will implement the signed peace agreement. I present our learnings on establishing and sustaining conflict monitoring systems and on innovative research methodologies to understand why conflict endures at various academic and civil society conferences. I presented my work on Conflict Strings in the University of Cambridge and WHO Global Violence Reduction Conference 2014. More recently, I opened the #BuildPeace2017 Conference in Colombia on the topic Information and Communications Technologies for citizens to monitor peace agreements. Link here http://bit.ly/2G3Lmom | I will share insights gained from long-standing experience on galvanizing multistakeholder support on peace processes and in ensuring the transition to peace and economic development is well-managed and conflict-proofed. I will talk about what works when addressing community vulnerabilities to violent conflict amidst the newly emerging threats of violence such as extremism and potential flashpoints from government responses. Local-led efforts have been able to sustain a certain level of peace in previously more violent contexts. Thus I will cover the following points: -Importance of partnerships between the UN, government, business and civil society, and engaging communities in promoting and sustaining peace. Moving beyond ownership defined as governments alone towards including broader groups for ‘inclusive national ownership’. National-level plans must march in step with local level initiatives that can rebuild relationships just as important as rebuilding governance structures. The UN is an important fulcrum to promote the redefinition of ‘broader ownership’. -Important role that women and youth play in promoting and sustaining peace. -Need to address the root causes of violent conflict, such as rival holders of the means of coercion, rival claimants to revenues in shadow economies and rival systems of property rights. The idea of calibrating an inclusive political settlement where those who possess economic and political power are part of the ‘bargain’ at the onset. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Past: The highlights as a journalist can be found in several projects, but the one that defined him as a journalist was when he was hosting a show on Greek national television (title of the show: weekly TV program “Reportage without Frontiers”). The program aired big stories and documentaries from around the world and had been named four times the best news show on the Greek TV. As an investigative journalist he exposed the dirty world behind all offensives, hosted whistle-blowers who revealed the secrets and the power games in certain war conflicts across the globe. Present: The work done as an MEP was multidimensional, but what I would like to point out was the legislative and non-legislative work done on two dossiers in the European Parliament Committee on Development where I have been serving as a Vice-Chair during this legislature. The first dossier was titled OPINION on corruption and human rights in third countries where as the Rapporteur of this opinion I highlighted -among others- the elements of sustaining peace. The second dossier I contributed as a shadow-rapporteur was the REPORT on the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition were key points were raised both on peacebuilding and sustaining peace.

Humanitarian aid is an expression of solidarity with the most vulnerable and should be delivered without preconditions based on the principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence. Humanitarian aid is deployed differently than foreign political, economic or security policy tools as response is based on needs with the objective to save lives, promote peace and provide fair and sustainable grounds for development. Sustaining peace is also a main target and it should not be anchored in foreign policy interests. Global trends confirm that humanitarian disasters and conflicts are on the increase. All actors however cannot ignore the root causes of conflict. Poverty reduction and sustainable development are key to address the root causes. Addressing fragility before the tipping-point is reached, requires action on many fronts. I always have and always will insist on more robust early warning, crisis and conflict preventions, stabilisation and peace-building. Moreover, drivers of conflict such as scarcity of resources and the effects of climate change need to be addressed together. But the threats to human life and dignity, particularly in conflict situations, are enormous. This is why I focus on all actors needing to work towards a sustainable peace strategy across the world. | |||||||||||||||||||

I played an important part in creating a better world for refugees mainly in peace side. I have my own unique way in dealing with the refugees and host communities. In addition to my job at URDA, I have a long experience in working in the Palestinian camps in Lebanon in various projects, mainly house rehabilitation, healthcare and sponsorship. Through every program, I try to do peace building in an indirect way. Recently I went to Bangladesh and spent 10 days in the borders with Myanmar to support Rohingya refugees with several projects. In 10 days, my achievements were: establishing a camp of 50 housing units in the name of Lebanon, organizing 2 medical camps offering medication for 7200 refugees, distributing food and non food items. I have access to thousands of families whom I do an impressive and effective role in their lives. | I am currently the programs’ director at URDA; my degree is in journalism. But my extensive experience of twenty years is in humanitarian work, especially in directing relief, health and developmental programs, mainly in the Palestinian camps, Syrian Refugees and poor Lebanese areas. Since the beginning of Syria crisis, I supervised relief sectors related to Syrian refugees, in the fields of shelter, food and non-food items, hospitalization, water and sanitation, education, psycho-social support and development. In addition to implementing several projects in peace-building and social cohesion between refugees and host community. Recently I was leading an emergency relief mission in Bangladesh borders with Myanmar to support Rohingya refugees with food, shelter, healthcare, clothing, etc. I gave many training sessions about developing humanitarian and relief projects, media coverage for charitable programs, disaster management, creativity and uniqueness in humanitarian work, and quality services protecting beneficiaries’ dignities.

I want to share my successful stories in relieving tension between refugees and host community. I will talk about my passion to do so in a unique way. Disasters are everywhere; innocent people displaced, traumatized, killed, injured and forever scarred. Daily, we witness families being ripped apart, the dreams and aspirations of the youth sinking and the elderly finding no memories within the rubble. Therefore, it becomes an urgent need to raise people’s awareness to develop their ability to face the pressures of life in order to help themselves first, then help others in need. And what we all need more than anything else is peace and to feel peaceful inside as well. All this puts us all in front of a great responsibility, especially as we have become a station of hope for the thousands of vulnerable people, and this in itself is a challenge to be on the level of human aspirations. Peace for Humanity is what will bring us together tomorrow to continue serve with the brightest hope of a better future. Throughout my humanitarian experience of 20 years, I want to say that there's a pleasure in such kind of humanitarian work. There’s real happiness in helping others, in planting smiles in sad eyes. | |||||||||||||||||

In 2015 Mama Koite Doumbia was elected as Africa representative to the Board of directors, Trust Fund for Victims under the International Criminal Court, ICC. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf8OAJYuZ9w) | Women still suffer from discrimination and have limited access to resources and decision-making bodies. The persistence of patriarchal ideology as a model of dominant social organization is a hindrance to the improvement of women's living conditions and manifests itself differently in our countries. The major obstacle is obviously the weight of tradition, traditional beliefs and religions that are against the full emancipation of women. In 2015, it was (15) fifteen years since United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 (UNSC) was adopted. This resolution specifically addresses the participation of women in the processes of prevention, recovery and peacebuilding, while calling on all actors to pay special attention to them, especially in times of conflict. It is also a moment to renew the collective resolve to promote human security and peace in conflict-ridden communities and end impunity for gender-based violence. Mali has experienced one of the worst conflicts and women and girls have been the biggest victims. Today, with the Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation, women are not consulted and do not gain access to the process of reconstruction and reconciliation despite the expressed political will. | ||||||||||||||||||||

I was chosen by the Organization as a speaker and trainer on the topic of rumor with the subject: ""Democracy Tests Rumor"" respectively in Dabou and Abidjan, October 10-17, 2015. The aim was to help participants (journalists, members of political parties and civil society) to better understand, rumor, the perverse effects of rumor on democracy and to grant them keys to fight it. This activity took place on the eve of the 2015 presidential election to avoid rumor-related violence. In November 2017, I was the chairman of the steering committee and the scientific committee of the international summit on election issues in Africa in Abidjan-Belle Côte Hotel. The conclusions of the summit are being handed to international and national institutions including the authorities of the African countries represented. Furthermore, I gained experience in networking which allowed us to work in collaboration with the U S Embassy in Cote d’Ivoire, African Union, ECOWAS, the Ministry of Youth Promotion and Amnesty International for the success of the aforementioned summit. I initiated “the civic and democratic day” February 2008 in the Middle Comoé Region and non-violence in school and university July 2008 at Felix Houphouet Boigny University, to raise awareness on the need of peace and social cohesion. I am an Alumnus of the American program YALI Elect TECHCAMP May 23-24, 2016 in Ghana.

October 10-17, 2015 I was speaker and trainer respectively in Dabou and Abidjan-CERAP on the notion of rumor. In addition, being President of PLANE PEACE makes me a media personality as I have to express myself at all times about the actions of the Organization not only so that they are visible but so that they can bear fruit. Below are links to illustrate what has been mentioned above: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk0DotJxeME&list=PL1ZyBIChDNanxWbbx4vjsWfTjAKNLWyLe&index=4 https://news.abidjan.net/v/37226.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdIRgObq3wo&list=PL1ZyBIChDNanxWbbx4vjsWfTjAKNLWyLe | Most of the crises, conflicts, wars in the world are related to human nature, his inclinations, and his unfortunately selfish, wicked character and therefore to the interest of individual and the interests of the States in taking men within those states collectively. Either because he is ignorant or because he cannot or does not want to communicate with others, so there is a misunderstanding and a sense of hatred, either because he maintains himself or is maintained in a state of poverty source of any kind of conflict and rebellion. They are related to the selfishness and the bad faith of foreigners or people within a State willing to satisfy their dark desire of enslavement and alienation of foreigners or people different from them. Thus, the work of the United Nations should take into account three essential elements: Human being, time and space. The solution consists in: ""Consider Individual in his Space regarding his Time"". The time here being taken in the broad sense and is confused with the notion of period. The space here, incorporates the real, potential, virtual living environment. Human being here, is synonymous with the whole individual himself and every individual. Emphasis should be put on the promotion of human values by involving people in their respective responsibilities, their diversity and differences, based on mutual respect and trust apart from prejudice and in knowledge of real motivations. | |||||||||||||||||

Sustainable peace has always been brokered with huge financial promises for nation building which the conflicting factions are coerced to accept and ratify. With my solution the UN would henceforth be placed in a better position to negotiate and sustain peace more effectively in a more collaborative manner. Peace becomes more sustainable when the government has a robust financial base to rebuild cities, infrastructures, create jobs and absorb the soldiers into civilian life, thus my idea would help nations eradicate poverty, end injustice, avoid further environmental degradation, ameliorate damaged environment all without redistributing anything and without any further regulations on the environmental protection. It has become imperative for the UN and the nations involved in conflicts to be capable of peace building without any third party i.e: magnanimous donors. Humanity and societies face huge economic, social and environmental problems that threaten the existence of states and welfare of billions of people, Now we have solution for any country to achieve all the goals for nation building, ending injustice and other structural problems without taxation and without debts. This simple solution offers a blueprint fiscal reform and financial independence to any country, rich and poor. Any country around the globe that adopted the system, however poor, would be able to end poverty and solve many other structural problems! | By way of introduction I am a Nigerian national, my childhood and schooling including Primary and Secondary schools’ education were in Nigeria. In 1986 I came to the defunct Soviet Union to study after two years in Moscow Russia I was posted to Kazakhstan where I studied for five years for a Master’s degree in Sociology. Upon completion of education in 1993, I am very passionate about finding solution to the grotesque poverty on the continent, and even though I have read extensively on economics, approaching the issue from the sociological perspectives informed my decision to gain an insight into the problem of poverty, therefore between 2007 and 2016 as an independent researcher I embarked on a long term research endeavor entitled “World Poverty Its Sources and Possible Solutions”, Examining poverty through the prism of justice, using sociological perspectives revealed the asymmetries of systems of economic laws and distribution resulting in unintended consequences on a range of social outcomes and leading to insights into abuse and mismanagement in all sectors. Experimenting with these alternative ways of knowing has been of tremendous value in developing new ways of thinking, and to device novel economic and social structures and institutions that would be fair in serving all sectors of the society without exception. The research efforts have culminated in a utopia-reality solution capable of eradicating poverty and injustice at all fronts in any society. I have written various articles on the subject, monographs and books on the theme are underway. | @wadelek7 | WILLIAM FEMI ADELEKE | Yes | Interactive Dialogue I - Sustainable Financing for Peace Interactive Dialogue II - Strengthening the United Nations Work on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace in the Field Interactive Dialogue IV - UN Comprehensive and Integrated Approach to Peace | Yes | As a university instructor, I have over twenty years of speaking with large audience of close to 300 people with and sometimes without microphones, further still I have given several interviews to the journalists and taken part in other public speaking activities. On the issue of Poverty Solution, I have made several presentations to the embassy officials including that of South-Africa and India both in Astana, Kazakhstan, Nigerian Embassy in –Moscow. I am able to take part in respondent interviews, guest speaker on TV and so on. There have been occasions where the whole family took part in special TV programme, therefore I can confidently claim that though not considering myself a celebrity I have been always in the public eye, thanks to the Kazakhstan Journalists | Humanity and societies face huge economic, social and environmental problems that threaten the existence of states and welfare of billions of people, now and even so in the future, and the main reason these problems cannot be addressed effectively is lack of money! How does money, the only resource that can be created at will, become the main obstacle to addressing society’s problems? We have solution to make the economy perform more effectively, to achieve stable sustainable economy with less impact on the environment to end poverty and social injustice. The United Nations has set 17 goals for a better world by 2030, with my solution solution all of these would be achieved within the frame of UN collaboration with separate states, while states would be able to end poverty and other structural problems independently without debt, taxation and magnanimous donations We have solution for any country to achieve all these goals and lots more without taxation without debts. This simple solution offers a blueprint fiscal reform and financial independence to any country, rich and poor. Any country around the globe that adopted the system, however poor, would be able to end poverty and solve many other structural problems within one year! The system is so simple and straightforward that it is difficult to imagine why it wouldn’t work in any country! How does money, the only resource that can be created at will, become the main obstacle to addressing society’s problems? | |||||||||||||||||

The resultant effect is an annihilation of community crises and birthing of peace and its sustenance. Despite the risks and challenges associated with the sector,Sahara has successfully evolved a community management philosophy which has led to symbiotic relationship:consultative and substantive hitherto transactional. My experience over the years has been to walk on narrow fringes to make decisions that will sustain regular crude production and reduce environmental pollution which could lead to a full blown war. An example is the re-orientation of host communities with regards to their participation in onshore drilling activities. Community relations policies encourage hiring of the locals to boost capacity building and socio-economic development. This engagement has in turn made the restive youth focused, enhanced capacities and innovativeness. Through this initiative youth in these communities now adhere to social justice, engender peace, which is encouraging sustainable tourism, green economy, viable ecosystem, resource control, promoting rights of indigenes and inclusiveness whilst creating responsible citizens in their communities, business leaders, thus; leading to reduction in rent seeking, bribery and corruption. | Olasoji Fagbola, is a Sustainable Development Practitioner and peace advocate with several years of experience. He has advanced skills in peace building, conflict management, stakeholder engagement, negotiations, project management, advocacy and youth development. Currently, he is the Community Relations Manager with Asharami Energy; the upstream arm of Sahara Group, where he facilitates ways to empower and build strong relationships with the local communities and create a platform for economic prosperity in the communities and peaceful environment for business to thrive whilst engaging local communities in order to determine needs and develop strategies to meet them. Olasoji successfully negotiated the birthing of several major oil and gas deals in the Niger Delta by mediating between different stakeholders which led to the drilling of four oil wells in three different oil fields/communities. It has often been asserted that petroleum, in particular, brings trouble, such as waste, corruption, consumption, debt overhang, deterioration, falling apart of public services, wars and other forms of conflicts among others. Thus, growth in natural resource-abundant countries tends to be slower than expected considering their resource wealth and in many cases, is actually slower than in resource-scarce countries. A common thread in explaining the resource curse along with the other broad explanations is the central role of government behaviour. The key issue here is how governments administer resource wealth and how they use natural resource revenues. | https://twitter.com/FagbolaOlasoji | https://web.facebook.com/?_rdc=1&_rdr | Yes | Interactive Dialogue I - Sustainable Financing for Peace | Yes | Invited by The Commonwealth Secretariat to speak at Commonwealth Youth Ministers Meeting in Kampala, Uganda, and the Council of Pan African Youth Summit, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. | Aiming to bring the perspective on productive or developmental conflict resolution techniques in an increasingly intolerant world. | |||||||||||||||||

I will speak on African educational policy that has been misconstrued and geared towards Survival, and how to place value on education, which is the source of flop. There are lots of ideologies in Africa but how are we transforming these ideologies into creativity and innovation. Africa must have a turning point and begin to walk our talk. There is the need to redefine leadership in Africa The Will urge Africans that, the world is fast gravitating towards technological advancements and we on the African continent cannot afford to be left behind. Africa cannot continue do the very old things in the same way and expect to achieve different results. We have a fine opportunity to change our continent and bring positive transformation in our lives. One way of achieving this goal is to join the tech revolution. I am also aiming at addressing issues of empowerment of the African people and to embrace a more modernized way of transforming our continent.

From his first major role as the Chief Prosecutor of the landmark Einsatzgruppen trial, to his work “compensating Hitler’s victims” and beyond, Ferencz has always pushed the international community to reconfirm its commitment to replacing the “rule of force with the rule of law”. In the years following Nuremberg, and to this day, he has done so by advocating strongly for the establishment of a permanent international criminal tribunal that would have jurisdiction over the same crimes he tried in Nuremberg, and by insisting that the ‘supreme international crime’ remain a judiciable offense under international criminal law. In his ninety-ninth year of age, Mr Ferencz remains in fact active in the international justice field. Through his numerous speeches and writings, he continues to inspire and motivate young and seasoned scholars and practitioners alike, including by funding and supporting educational and policy programs dealing with atrocity prevention and sustainable peace. | Mr. Ferencz was born in 1920 in Transilvania, and came to the USA as a young child. He was awarded a scholarship on criminal law to attend Harvard. Upon graduating, in 1943, he joined an anti-aircraft artillery unit of the US Army in World War II. In 1945, he was transferred to the headquarters of General Patton’s Third Army to serve on the team tasked with setting up a war crimes branch and collecting evidence. He saw the concentration camps as they were liberated. He became a prosecutor in the legal team of Telford Taylor, Chief Prosecutor for the Einsatzgruppen case. He participated in setting up reparations and rehabilitation programs for victims of Nazi persecutions, and played a role in the process leading to the Reparations Agreement between Israel and West Germany in 1952 and the first German Restitution Law in 1953. In 1956, Mr. Ferencz returned to the US where he entered private law practice as a partner of Mr. Telford Taylor. In numerous publications – including his 1975 book Defining International Aggression: The Search for World Peace – he argued for the establishment of a permanent international criminal court and a strengthened international legal order. Mr Ferencz is the recipient of numerous prizes and awards, including the Erasmus Prize together with Antonio Cassese. The City of The Hague has named the footpath next to the Peace Palace the ‘Benjamin Ferencz Path’, to honour him as “one of the figureheads of international justice”. | https://twitter.com/benferencz?lang=en | https://www.facebook.com/nuremberglegacy/ | Yes | Interactive Dialogue III - Strategic Partnerships with the United Nations in the Field for Peace Interactive Dialogue IV - UN Comprehensive and Integrated Approach to Peace | Yes | Mr Ferencz has been featured in many movies, documentaries, and public engagements.

The human conscience has slowly but irreversibly awaken. This awakening is not over, and our work isn't done. Yet Sustainable Peace is in our future. By fostering inter-sectorial and inter-generational partnerships, adopting holistic approaches to addressing the roots of violent conflict, educating the newer generations that ""law is better than war"", and strengthening international and multilateral institutions, I believe Sustainable Peace can be achieved. I have worked towards this goal for the last 70 years or my own life, now it's up to you! | |||||||||||||||||

Le droit international moderne ne vise plus seulement la stabilité des relations entre les Etats, mais également, la protection et le bien des êtres humains. L’ONU est au cœur de cette approche: les conflits emportent des crises humanitaires, lesquelles entrainent la détérioration des conditions sanitaires(OMS) des réfugiés(HCR) et autres déplacés(FNUAP), invitent la famine(PAM), dégringole l’éducation(UNESCO), particulièrement celle des enfants(UNICEF), favorisent la marginalisation de la femme(ONU-Femme) et sont à la base de plusieurs migrations clandestines(OIM) qui, sans résoudre le mal, se contente de rendre cancéreuse sa contagion, freine le développement et de la bonne gouvernance(PNUD) et ; dans tout le cas, place les principes directeurs des droits de l’homme(HCDH) au crématorium de l’histoire de l’humanité. L’ONU reste la seule organisation sur qui les populations peuvent espérer, aux fins de palper une réelle consolidation de la paix. Le fonds international pour les victimes, le tribunal bleu et des résolutions sur les politiques intégrées par l’AGNU constituent des leviers incontournables à ce sujet. | |||||||||||||||||

Mr. van Sluijs coordinates the Civil Society Platform for Peacebuilding and Statebuilding (CSPPS) - the South-North non-governmental coalition of peacebuilding organisations that coordinates and supports civil society participation in the International Dialogue on Peacebuilding and Statebuilding (IDPS) & New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States. Through CSPPS strategic and capacity assistance is provided in support to in-country interventions beneficial to amplifying the voice of civil society in these and related policy processes. At the global level CSPPS coordinates lobby and advocacy efforts around conflict prevention, sustaining peace, peacebuilding and statebuilding. | @petervansluijs | https://www.facebook.com/civilsocietyplatform | Yes | Interactive Dialogue III - Strategic Partnerships with the United Nations in the Field for Peace | Yes | Experience with public speaking through engagement in meetings of the International Dialogue, speaking roles in conferences and international meetings | If selected to speak my main messaging would be around the importance of multi-stakeholder partnerships, inclusivity and dialogue among key stakeholders (including civil society). Inclusivity and partnerships are critical to sustaining peace. Civil society actors often play key role in conflict-affected societies, and particularly in situations of transition, conflict or fragility, they are the primary peacebuilding agents. The crucial role or CS must be recognised as a central part of the fabric that builds societal resilience and sustains peace, and their work, and the space that allows for it, must be upheld and supported. | ||||||||||||||||||

Mongolia faces non-traditional security threats in the name of economic, societal and environmental security. One third of Mongolia's population is poor, which leads to societal unrest, health risks, and increase in domestic violence. Increased desertification is threatening the livelihood of a fifth of our population. Through youth volunteer organizations such as Rotaract and UN Youth Advisory Panel, I was empowered to make a positive impact in our society. With Rotaract, I led grassroots initiatives in the health, environment, and economic development sectors. We raised funds and saved children's lives, gave poor children eyeglasses and school supplies, donated food to the elderly, initiated public awareness campaigns on HIV/AIDS, air pollution, and desertification. With the UN Youth Advisory Panel, we organized the first Model UNESCO in the world, focusing on peace. I led many other projects, such as facilitating youth input in the Mongolian youth policy and NHDR on Youth, initiating dialogue on SDGs, and promoting volunteerism. My favorite project is Orange sessions, where young artists are empowered to speak up about Gender Based Violence. Through these initiatives as well as through my journalist work, we encouraged thousands of people to partake in positive social activities. I have also been teaching my international friends about Mongolia as well as striving to learn more about other cultures. As future leaders, we must learn to be open-minded and kind-hearted so that we can prevent conflicts. | Currently I'm a Schwarzman scholar studying for a master's degree in Global Affairs at the Tsinghua University in Beijing. I am fortunate to be here on a scholarship, without which I wouldn't be able to afford quality education. Our family gives a lot of emphasis on education, as it provides social mobility. That's why I devote most of my time volunteering, teaching, and empowering youth. I was born and raised in Mongolia and have spent most of my life there, apart from 3 years spent during middle school in the US, where I was introduced to the world of volunteerism. Upon returning home, I became a member of a Rotaract club, a community volunteer organization for young people. For almost seven years I have led young people in Mongolia in fundraising for sick children, planting trees and cleaning rivers, organizing events for social issue awareness, and training future leaders. I made so many friends from all over the world and now my every day is marked by the skills I gained and the lives I've touched. Fueled by my wish to make positive impact at a policy level, I joined the UN Youth Advisory Panel in Mongolia, where 15 young people from diverse organizations and backgrounds work together with the UN in designing and implementing their programs for youth. A journalist by training, I have sought to bring public awareness on social issues and put a spotlight on positive impact youth initiatives through my work with various media in Mongolia and abroad.

In the case of Mongolia, young people have done things that the government should have done - built schools, renovated gardens and hospitals, sent hundreds of children for surgery. They stood for their right to vote and helped their community in every way they can. Through supporting youth initiatives, you are creating an army of positive energy that fights injustice not with weapons but with affirmative action. Through volunteering and taking part in our community we are conditioned to think of ourselves as change agents, instrumental in the prosperity of our country and the wellbeing of the entire planet. That's right. We are no longer restrained by borders in caring for the issues that others face. We are global citizens, responsible for building a brighter future for everyone on the planet. Volunteer organizations and institutions are a great way to start. UN Youth Advisory Panel, which can be created within any UN agency or country office, provides young people an opportunity to create and implement initiatives that are for them. At 16 years old, we can influence the decisions of policy makers, direct funds to causes we feel strongly about, and empower other young people to make positive change. On an individual level, adults can spend just 10 minutes listening to us. We have lots to say and lots to do. Support us in supporting ourselves. | ||||||||||||||||||

In her capacity as Director Peacebuilding Programs for IAHV, as well as a researcher, she has been pioneering the practice of psychosocial peacebuilding (PSPB) for more impactful peacebuilding practice and advocating for its integration in international peacebuilding policy and practice. She develops, implements and advocates for PSPB programs on preventing and transforming violent extremism, trauma relief to break the cycles of violence, strengthening mediation and reconciliation processes, and training peacebuilding personnel. She also developed a screening model to analyse the potential of religions for peacebuilding at a time when religion was still mostly considered a driving factor of conflict. Thanks to her book “The Complex Reality of Religious Peacebuilding: Conceptual Contributions and Critical Analysis” (Lexington, 2010), she has become an international reference and resource on religious peacebuilding. As a trainer in peacebuilding, rehabilitation, stress management and capacity development, she has trained 1500+ people, including UN and EU personnel, Dutch and UK government, NGO's and CSO's, students, journalists, refugees and prisoners. As a peacebuilding practitioner she has worked on issues of Track 2 diplomacy, violent extremism, minorities, nonviolence, human rights, prisoner rehabilitation and peace spirituality. | Dr. Katrien Hertog is currently Director Peacebuilding Programs for the International Association for Human Values, which specialises in effectively transforming mindsets, attitudes, wellbeing and behaviour of all people involved in or affected by conflict and violence. She is also Director of the internationally renowned prisoner rehabilitation program Prison SMART for Europe and coordinator and trainer for Prison SMART UK. She has a MA in Peace Studies from the University of Bradford and a PhD from the Centre for Peace Research at the University of Leuven. Dr. Hertog has worked as project manager for different peacebuilding INGO's and as Senior Peacebuilding Trainer and Facilitator at International Alert. Her working experience has mainly been in Europe, Middle East, Asia and Russia / North Caucasus. Dr. Hertog decided to study Peacebuilding and volunteer for the Catholic peace organisation Pax Christi in 1998, deeply upset over the war in Kosovo, in order to help humanity find less barbarous ways to solve conflict. Since then she has been engaged in peacebuilding research and practice to identify and implement innovative practices that bring fundamental shifts in dynamics of peace and violence. Being able to restore and strengthen hope, resilience and human values in prisoners, former militants, traumatised refugees or terrorist attack survivors, and to reconnect people through our shared humanity, she finds the most gratifying experience in her life. | IAHVPB | https://www.facebook.com/IAHVPeacebuildingUNit/ | Yes | Interactive Dialogue II - Strengthening the United Nations Work on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace in the Field Interactive Dialogue III - Strategic Partnerships with the United Nations in the Field for Peace | Yes | Papers, presentations and lectures on religion and peacebuilding, preventing and transforming violent extremism, prisoner rehabilitation, psycho-social dimensions of peacebuilding, in academic institutions, non-governmental and governmental organisations (a.o.

In view of the anger, frustration, depression, pain, greed and alienation driving many conflicts around the world today, it is the need of the hour to invest massively in the psychosocial, emotional and existential spiritual factors of peacebuilding. No peace can become self-sustainable as long as it is not internalised and socially supported by the people involved. IAHV has successfully implemented an integrated psychosocial approach to peacebuilding in 150 countries. IAHV programs use a comprehensive set of processes and tools facilitating physical, mental, emotional and existential changes, as such positively transforming wellbeing, attitudes, behaviours and relationships of people involved in, or affected by, conflict and violence in the world today. They do not only focus on alleviating symptoms and providing ‘psychosocial’ support, but also on laying a strong, healthy psychosocial foundation on all sides of conflict for sustainable peacebuilding. Infusing the integral dimensions of peacebuilding in an integrative way into peace architecture, will allow us to really speak about ‘the art and soul’ of building peace.

We also used innovative tools SMS, voice calls, social media and video messages to spread the message of peace. We use sports for peace promotion by team-based sports activities.

Governments and UN agencies to fight against Violent Extremism should adopt such programs. In such programs, we include isolated, disadvantaged and marginalized youth back into society through team-based specifically designed sports activities. Extremism groups target such isolated youngsters from the society and use them for their purpose. We also need to do such research in other countries facing the same problem of Violent Extremism.

During the last 5 years I have experienced the transformation of a revolted mind typical of women searching for her inner peace dealing with her own fears complexes and demons to a mindful meditative calm state that helps me deal with problems that attain the whole humanity. It is a fight which is fought within ourselves everyday. I have been invited to the World Peace Summit In South Korea 2014 as a Women leader, where I could share in a panel, what is really important for women. Which is being in peace. I have helped more than 2000 women and men to conquer their minds in this search for inner peace through mindfulness coaching since 2012. Since 2017 I have been working as Peace Architect under the Peace Revolution. My contributions are tangible and directly influence positively the role these people play in the society.

But it is not the only one. As peace builders and peace makers we do not stop in the UN. Our stage is in the world. Our road we treat is with sweet and hard work. I want to stress the point that by teaching people how to find their inner peace and being able to be the role model in their community and in there society, there are great value to the whole society. One peaceful person a day is a change for the humanity. Because peaceful mother influences their kids, her husband. And this unit can influence the coworkers, grandparants. I have lived this experience in the last 5 years in my family, in my surroundings and my live laboratory can confirm that this is the best way to do so. I was at the Peace Summit where just words were said. It is good to gather the people with the same approach. But what really works is the action. Everyone can speak about making peace in the world, but if they have war inside of themselves, they are difficult to be peaceful to others which is like a domino. That is why it is important to approach inviduals in the scales of conferences, workshops and teach them how to find their inner peace. | ||||||||||||||||||

Our world has more refugees now than World War II and several parts of the world are torn apart by wars and conflicts. Women and children suffer the most as a result of this conflict and General Assembly resolution 70/262 has duly recognized the fact that peace building efforts must address the gender aspect as well the rights of future generations. During my speech I shall stress upon this aspect and speak from my experiences in the field with regards to peace building with regards to Syrian refugees and also how important it is to engage youth and women in the process. My organization , World Future Council envisions a sustainable, just and peaceful future where universal rights are respected and to achieve this, it focusses on identifying and spreading effective, future-just policy solutions and promote their implementation worldwide , especially on Peace and disarmament. I shall stress the fact that civil society and all its stakeholders have a role to play in peace building and it must work collaboratively with the United Nations in this regard . Only through synergistic and effective partnerships between the United Nations , governments , policy makers and all sections of civil society can we achieve peace . | ||||||||||||||||||

AS a member of the team, I played the role of rapporteur, compiling the activities of the week-long meetings of the PIND team with the community stakeholders. I also was trained in the Tolerance Academy programme of the Youth Tolerance For Peace Development Initiative (YTFDPI) where I was taught on peacebuilding, tolerance and conflict resolution During the period, all participants paid visits to both mosques and churches. After the training, we were tasked with a step-down project in a school in the community. I and three others trained secondary school kids on tolerance, peacebuilding and leadership. In August 2015, as a result of my constant engagement with YTFPDI, I was recruited as a volunteer to be in charge of the peacebuilding toolkit development. This role led me to compile materials and various items on peacebuilding. In 2016, I was named by the United Nations Alliance of Civilisation as one of 20 Young Peacebuilders in West Africa. I and 19 others were trained for six weeks on peacebuilding, conflict resolution, stakeholder mapping and transforming narratives.

At WPI, we call the defences of peace as inner peace. Our priority mission is to spread the idea of inner peace, which is a key success factor for world peace, as our peace equation says “Inner Peace + Outer Peace = Sustainable World Peace. Inner Peace is not something beyond our reach. Rather, it’s within our reach, just inside every one of us. However you have to revolutionize yourself to find this peace! Therefore, for Peace Revolution, we provide tools and trainings for people of all ages to find their own inner peace. Once equipped with this tool, that person will know how to make peace for themselves and people around them. At the individual level, the greatest advantage is to find inner peace and happiness in your busy life. Even a glimpse of it is necessary to kick off the day as it brings about calmness, creativity, and problem-solving skills. If you develop all those values, you possess more capital than others. In other words, a chance to become successful is much more obtainable. At the collective level, the world cannot be at peace if people who live in it are not at peace. One person at a time. It may seem to be a slow process but peace network creates ripple effects. True peace can be attained by meditation and mindfulness. The question is how to achieve true peace individually and collectively? | |||||||||||||||||

In the protracted conflict between India and Pakistan, Inspite of this, youth can play significant role as they connect very well in sports, films and cultural activities and are able to motivate the political dispensations to continue with peace talks at political and diplomatic levels. I would try to convey the message that we should follow: (1) a human rights-based approach, based on the rights of the Child and Women; (2) an economic approach keeping young people as central to the economic development of their country; (3) a socio-political approach that connects young people to civil society and the political arena; (4) a sociocultural approach that analyses the roles of young people in existing structures and supports dialogue – including intergenerational dialogue – about these structures. As suggested by the Secretary General in his 2012 report on Peace building in the Aftermath of Conflict, I would also like to recommend to: 1. Promote Young People’s Participation should be an essential condition for peace building; 2. Enable Young People’s ownership, leadership and accountability for successful Peace building 3.Involve Young People in all stages of Peace building and Post-conflict Programming The principle of ‘do no harm’ is fundamental in all instances and all participation should be based on free will. | ||||||||||||||||||||

He is the Colombian representative of “Youth for SDGs”, a UNV initiative aiming to train and empower representatives of youth organizations to sensitize, localize and advocate for the 2030 Agenda. Julian is young leader and adviser on youth projects in Domopaz Foundation and Hanns Seidel Foundation. He also served as “My World Youth Ambassador”, leading the UN global campaign “The World We Want” in his country with 15.000 children and young people involved. As a “Youth for SDGs” advocate, Julian was awarded for his contribution to the SDGs and for his commitment to peace, sustainable development and youth in his country. He was winner of the “National Youth Volunteerism Award, Category: SDGs for Peacebuilding”, awarded by the President of Colombia and Nobel Peace Prize (2016) Juan Manuel Santos; also, with the “Victory Award 2017”, as an emerging leader and as one of 20 most influential young social leaders in Ibero-America. Julian was Speaker in the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates 2017. Last year, Julian was one of the most renowned young in his country due to be the first Colombian young in be invited by the United Nations to speak at the UN Headquarters about the youth’s role in sustaining peace and reconciliation (In the framework of the International Youth Day).

I would like to emphasize in the following experiences: 1.INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY 2017 As I mentioned before, I was invited by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs to be Speaker at the International Youth Day 2017 (UN Headquarters, New York, Aug 10th-11th), offering a conference entitled “Youth’s role in sustaining peace and reconciliation”, sharing our experience in the Peace Process and my experience as Peace Advocate.

Link: https://goo.gl/ZJYPU8 4.I participated in the International Conference on Youth, Employment and Migration (Cancun, Mexico, 2017), in where I presented the lecture “Post-conflict in Colombia: An opportunity or a threat for youth employment?” Link: https://goo.gl/WPtjXM | As Young Leader and Peace Advocate, I would like to emphasize in the importance to count – in a comprehensive perspective and process – with the civil society and youth. Based on the Colombian experience during the peace process and the current post-conflict situation, being supported by the UN Mission for Peace in our country, it’s necessary engage in the whole process for peacebuilding to local stakeholders, partners, NGOs, community initiatives and youth-led organizations; youth play key role as the 25% of the global population and our capacity/skills to link the efforts between generations. Strengthening the United Nations Work on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace in the Field requires of an effective involvement of these partners to ensure an inclusive process, engaging them in the designing, implementation and evaluation of projects or public policies - especially in the field - where the communities can be beneficiaries but also agents for social transformation; that let us redefine and support UN Approach to Peace. I would like to share recommendations about how to make close the UN to the citizenship, facilitating strategic partnerships and a better impact, and mechanisms to use as a strategy the volunteerism to support UN goals for peace. In addition, ways to establish effective links between UN and local institutions. | |||||||||||||||||

Regularly solicited for speaking roles. | The challenges for peacebuilding used to be due to a lack of conceptual understanding of the challenges faced when ‘building peace’, as well as a lack of adequate policies to guide the international community in this endeavor. However, much effort has been invested since by key actors in the international community to develop and deepen its understanding of peacebuilding and corresponding challenges. This has resulted in widely accepted peacebuilding principles. Moreover, this understanding is beginning to be echoed in international policies which reflect a more nuanced perception of these challenges. The Sustaining Peace Agenda is a prime example. And yet, the reemerging clarity at the conceptual and policy level is defeated by challenges at the operational level: institutional frameworks, funding mechanisms, staffing decisions, programmatic orientations, and other components have not been sufficiently modified to enable actors to adequately respond to the critical findings at the conceptual level. This is not about developing recommendations for ‘peacebuilding projects’, which remain a fraction of the overall investment in humanitarian, development and security interventions, but about understanding that these sectors are also contributors to the challenges of building peaceful societies. As such, conceptual and operational frameworks need to be enhanced in order to allow these interventions to fully realize their potential in contributing to sustainable peace. | ||||||||||||||||||

Since 2015, my organization has been successfully implementing a USAID-DIFID supported project, “People Against Violence in Elections”. They again selected us in 2017 to co-implement the “Strengthening Political Landscape in Bangladesh,” project, with a significant peace-building component. Through these projects political leaders in many sub-districts of Bangladesh signed “peace treaties,” renouncing violence and committing to jointly fight radicalization and promote pluralism. Since 2017, we have been implementing a National Endowment for Democracy project to teach youths ideas about pluralism and inclusiveness as a means to prevent conflict and promote social cohesion. We have developed a “Social Harmony” workshop to prevent conflict and promote peace in rural Bangladesh. We received UNDP support to develop profiles of about 50 alleged violent extremists who died since the heinous Holi Artisan attack in Bangladesh in 2016 to develop a better understanding of violent extremism and their drivers. Since last year, we have also engaged in path-breaking work to promote peace between Hindu and Muslim communities in Nasirnagar, Brahmanbaria, Bangladesh. Hindu temples and dwellings there were attacked by a Muslim mob incited by a fake Facebook posting. The Hindu priest and Muslim religious leaders recently publicly exchanged Holy Books as signs of mutual respect and political leaders signed a code of conduct to live in peace. http://www.thedailystar.net/country/rare-show-religions-harmony-1536418 | I was born in Bangladesh and received my Ph.D. in Economics in 1977 from Case Western Reserve University.

I am a regular commentator on economic and political issues, which are published in print media and broadcast on electronic media. Googling my name will give you access to many of my columns and publications and other activities. | In Bangladesh, radicalization and violent extremism are becoming growing problems. The Holi Artisan attack by a group of extremists on July 1, 2016, killed over two dozen people, including 19 foreigners. Yet we have no comprehensive strategy for addressing this issue. The government appears to view it primarily as a security issue and uses force to deal with it. By doing so, they are dealing with the symptom rather than the disease itself. Put differently, they seem to be preoccupied with only the tip of the iceberg, which is violent extremism, and are ignoring its base. However, it is feared that the base is expanding. Bangladesh therefore needs a comprehensive strategy to address not only the symptom of violent extremism but also all of its drivers. Bangladesh needs to address the socioeconomic, psychological and and political drivers of radicalization and extremism. As Mr. Ban Ki-moon said, ""Missiles may kill terrorists. But I am convinced that good governance will kill terrorism."" I also want to highlight the issue of the Rohingya influx to Bangladesh, which appears to be a ticking time bomb. Much persecuted and disaffected Rohingya refugees could easily be misguided and recruited to radicalization. Thus, the Rohingya issue must be urgently solved, otherwise the whole region may be destabilized. The UN should also strengthen its peacebuilding efforts in countries like Bangladesh and help build local capacity on conflict resolution and mediation. | ||||||||||||||||||

EMERGENCY believes in the indissoluble link between human rights and peace. Therefore, EMERGENCY provides in its hospitals a medical care truly accessible, completely free of charge, effective and of excellent quality. EMERGENCY acknowledged that the promotion of human rights is the only prophylaxis against war and inequality. EMERGENCY decided to design The African Network of Medical Excellence which intends to promote the emergence of Centres of Excellence that can go far beyond the single country but build a referral system for all. We experience more ten years of cooperation among 28 countries that are referring patients to the first Centre of Excellence EMERGENCY raised, the Salam Centre for Cardiac Surgery in Khartoum. After an International Workshop organized by EMERGENCY in 2008, the dialogue with partners countries resulted into the signature of the Manifesto of human-right based medicine. Ministers of 11 countries advocate for the implementation of health systems and projects solely devoted to preserve, extend and improve the life of the people in need and based on principles of equality, quality and social responsibility. EMERGENCY’s engagement in sustaining peace has been recognized by awarding its founder, Dr. Gino Strada with two important prizes: the Right Livelihood Award, dubbed as the “Alternative Nobel Prize”, in 2015 and the Sunhak Peace Prize in 2017. | After completing her Bachelor in Political Science at the University of Napoli Orientale in 1999, Rossella got her postgraduate degree in Humanitarian Assistance in 2000. Since then, she has been working for EMERGENCY covering different positions. She was the Desk Officer for Afghanistan and then for Sudan, where she was committed to the start-up of the Salam Centre for Cardiac Surgery. She has then worked as External Relations Officer and, since 2007, as the Humanitarian Office Coordinator with the mandate of supervising and coordinating all EMERGENCY’s humanitarian projects around the world and liaising the external relations both with the international community and governments. Rossella has also leaded the opening of 7 the branches of Emergency worldwide and she sit in all of their Executive Boards. Since 2015, Rossella has also taken part to the National Council for Development Cooperation of Italy, made up of 50 representatives from the Italian Development Cooperation System. After being member of the Executive Board from 2003, in July 2017, Rossella was nominated President of EMERGENCY. | Yes | Interactive Dialogue III - Strategic Partnerships with the United Nations in the Field for Peace | Yes | Rossella gained a great experience in engaging with prominent local authories, governments’ representative and public media through the years worked with EMERGENCY. Covering the role of External Relations Officer and Humanitarian Coordinator, she accumulated numerous of speeches and participated to many international meetings and conferences. Majority of them were not recorded but one of the most prominent interview featuring Rossella online is available at this link. Another interview available online can be seen here . Rossella also gave a presentation after EMERGENCY was awarded with the Agha Aga Khan Prize for Architecture, designed for innovative buildings. Regarding the press release, her most recent interviews appear on the following newspapers Vice article and The Drum. | EMERGENCY will participate to this meeting with the main intent of giving voice to all of the 9 million patients we’ve treated, met and shared part of our life. These 9 million persons and the many others we do continue to see every day, represent the long path that still remains to fulfill and achieve the intent for which the United Nations born in 1945: “to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small.” After 73 years, we must take action to abolish war. It might sound utopics, as this never occurred before. However, the term utopia does not designate something absurd, but rather a possibility that still has to be explored and accomplished. Many years ago even the abolition of slavery seemed “utopian”. In the XVIII century the “possession of slave” was deemed as “normal”. That utopia became true. A world without war is another utopia we cannot wait any longer to see materialized. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Statistical research suggests that 70% of the population living below the poverty line are women. Therefore, poverty alleviation through financial inclusion for women in the post-conflict zone will not only address the economic sustainability issues, but at the same time reduce the likelihood of horizontal conflict in their community. As the founding team members of Amartha, I personally believe that educating women in the grass root level, while equipping them with financial literacy and capital to upgrade their living conditions will eventually lead to a sustainable peace and more prosperous society. In December 2016, under the funding from US State Department Younified Project, I led a technical workshops and micro-business incubation in Poso, a post-conflict district in Central Sulawesi, in collaboration with local community leaders aiming at educating the victims of conflict to be more economically independent. The project was successfully reunited the community from five villages who were previously in conflict (that claimed more than 2,000 lives) into a communal society that learn and work together to improve their family income. Today, serving more than 89,000 women micro entrepreneurs in more than 630 villages, Amartha continues to strengthen its presence as the driver of financial inclusion and economic equality while at the same time sustaining peace at the grass root level. | Aria Widyanto is the Director of Amartha, a financial technology startup that focuses its mission towards providing affordable financial access and mentorship to the under-privileged women micro-entrepreneurs living in rural villages, including post-conflict zone in Indonesia, where conventional financial system is not present. Operating as a peer-to-peer lending platform, Amartha have disbursed more than USD 25 million funds from nearly 29,000 lenders to 89,000+ women borrowers living in 630+ villages across Indonesia with 0% default rate. Aria also actively advocates the Indonesian Government, NGOs and private sectors to collaborate in accelerating poverty alleviation efforts in Indonesia through technology. Recently, Aria joined an ad-hoc advisory group to design the future of digital economy and financial inclusion strategy that reports directly to the President of Indonesia. Prior to Amartha, Aria was a banker with Citibank NA and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubushi UFJ. In June 2015, Aria was the recipient of YSEALI Fellowship from President Obama. In 2017, he was awarded International Alumni Impact Award from US State Department for his contribution in promoting public private partnership in poverty alleviation efforts. | https://twitter.com/travelogyaria | https://www.facebook.com/aria.widyanto | Yes | Interactive Dialogue I - Sustainable Financing for Peace | Yes | My previous experiences in public speaking include being the speakers in international conferences such as the following: FST Australia Conference: http://fst.net.au/speakers/aria-widyanto Startup Asia Berlin: https://startup-asiaberlin.com/?news=yourstory-interview-roadshow-delegate-aria-widyanto Ministry of Finance Seminar: http://www.djpbn.kemenkeu.go.id/direktorat/smi/id/berita/129-nasional/2544-talkshow-peran-teknologi-informasi-dalam-rangka-pemberdayaan-umkm.html Including various public appearance in Indonesian language events. | Learning from various conflict events in Indonesia in the past, lower-educated and under-privileged class of society are the most fragile. While Government efforts have been maximized to reduce the root cause of conflict through high-level dialog and de-radicalization efforts, involvement of non-governmental stakeholders, especially startup companies in technology and finance have never been taken into consideration as an important key players in sustaining peace and contributing to the poverty alleviation efforts, as one of the fundamental root causes of conflicts. Amartha's experience in educating more than 89,000 women in 630 villages and have successfully alleviated them from poverty at the speed of 20.5% per year have contributed to the improvement of livelihood of the community, and hypothetically help sustaining peace in the grass root level in line with the improvement of prosperity. In this sense, we would recommend that the role of non-governmental organizations, such as startup technology companies, needs to be taken into account when designing policy and approach related to accelerated poverty alleviation and sustaining peace. Amartha's role in advocating Indonesian Government on this matter can also be shared as one of the best practice in the region in terms of public-private partnership in peace keeping and accelerating poverty alleviation through financial technology. | |||||||||||||||||

This presentation emphasises the need to develop bottom-up, people-centred approaches. Across the board, there is a renewed commitment to support constructive state-society relations through inclusive, nationally and locally owned, broad-based, consultative processes.This consensus opposes to growing criticisms that the UN remains too state-centric, that it applies predefined peacebuilding templates to diverse contexts and that it leans on military solutions over political ones. Existing practices often alienate and marginalise the local people whom missions are mandated to serve, and risk “perpetuating exclusion”. The renewed resolve to “put people first” is a welcome commitment on the part of the UN. UN is doing great efforts to ensure that local people play an active role in deciding the roadmap to peace. This presentation highlights the opportunities, challenges and trade-offs peacekeepers have to face when deciding when, who and how to engage with people effectively at the field level. It argues that by integrating bottom-up and people-centric approaches as a core strategy in peace operations, UN practices can be more sensitive and responsive to local people. This will be more realistic if existing practices are incorporated into a coherent strategy, and if communities are involved systematically in decision-making. | |||||||||||||||||||

FTI has 20 years of experience in working on conflict prevention and peacebuilding – covering the whole spectrum of sustaining peace before, during and after conflict has occurred also in collaboration with the United Nations. The Foundation has cooperated closely with UNDP and has shaped a number of proposals to the UN Peacebuilding Fund. Having witnessed the lack of adequate response mechanisms to unfolding tensions, FTI together with the Global Partnership for the Prevention of the Armed Conflicts (GPPAC) developed an early warning infrastructure for peace in partnership with UNDP which then took this forward. Over the past 5 years FTI’s programmatic priorities lay in the following areas: 1.Interethnic tensions 2.Cross-border issues 3.Growing extremism and radicalism 4.Human security issues FTI is the Regional Secretariat of GPPAC which allows for building capacity and sharing of best practices worldwide; participates in relevant networks and is in the process of establishing a cross regional network for peacebuilding organization from Central Asia and South Caucasus to fill the gap civil society organizations face. | Tazhykan Shabdanova is the President of Foundation for Tolerance International. She has graduated from Law Faculty and has a master degree on Law. She was the member of the Reference Group on Evaluation of UN Peacebuilding Priority Plans 2013-2016 in the Kyrgyz Republic and a member of the Joint Steering Committee of the UN and Kyrgyz Government. She was also a part of FTI team working on Infrastructure for Peace in Kyrgyzstan leaded by UNDP. Her experience in peacebuilding and promoting principles of democratic society has started from her study at the university when she served as a volunteer. She has worked in peace education since 2004 and has experience in working with students at secondary schools, universities and female students of madrasah on different topics: human rights, non-violence communication, conflict prevention, etc. Tazhykan is a leader of FTI initiatives on working with radicalization and PVE. Ms. Shabdanova is also a member of the Working group on PVE of Global Partnership for Prevention of the Armed Conflicts, which allows sharing and learning experience from different regions of the world (South Asia, MENA, Europe, etc.). Tazhykan works in peace education, promoting democracy and rule of law since 2004 and she has experience in working with different actors at local and national levels, including governmental and non-governmental organizations, religious communities, media, global think-tank groups, etc. Tazhykan is an author and co-author of manuals, analytical papers, publications related to peacebuilding and peace education in Kyrgyzstan. | Yes | Interactive Dialogue I - Sustainable Financing for Peace Interactive Dialogue II - Strengthening the United Nations Work on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace in the Field Interactive Dialogue III - Strategic Partnerships with the United Nations in the Field for Peace | Yes | I have different levels of public speaking with various audiences starting from the children at age 10, youth, community residents (women, men, religious leaders, entrepreneurship) up to decision makers at national and regional levels and international community. I have, among others, been invited as guest-speaker to share expertise in the following events : Regional conference on prevention radicalization and violent extremism, OSCE, Tajikistan, 2013; European Union Conference “Addressing radicalization and violent extremist – Central Asian perspective”, Tajikistan, 2016; the Peace Education for Peacebuilding, International Conference in Armenia, 2017 (https://www.facebook.com/womenfordevelopment/posts/1710479142359849); UNDOC Regional seminar: Civil society and prevention of violent extremism: key aspects, 2018; National Forum on building social partnership for prevention crime in Kyrgyzstan, 2018; Meeting at the Academy of State Management under the Kyrgyz Republic President Office (http://www.apap.kg/vstrecha-s-predstavitelyami-fonda-%C2%ABza-mezhdunarodnuyu-tolerantnost%C2%BB), etc. | I have experience on working with the UN system on peacebuilding within a range of projects supported by Peacebuilding Fund. I would like to speak about three points: •Firstly, I would like to present contextual challenges, results and best practices in building peace in the region as well as practical challenges we face as civil society organizations, as we for example have to find creative ways to survive, at times as service providers, even for the UN. •Secondly, I would like to share our best approaches on promoting peace among the youth and community safety programs. One of the areas I will highlight is our new project, implemented jointly with the Global Partnership for the Prevention of the Armed Conflicts and supported by the Gender and Youth Promotion Initiative of the Peacebuilding Fund. Through a participatory process working with film and social media this project will be one of the star programs among the new generation. •Finally I would like to speak about the thoughts and concerns of the organization related to the skills on conflict sensitivity among key stakeholders (UN, INGOs, CSOs) on working with radicalization and PVE in Central Asia. Building lasting peace requires a lot of resources, willingness, networking and allies around the world. Sharing our story and experiences in one of the most central tribunes in the world, the UN General Assembly would be an honour and provide the opportunity to further enhance our work and locally and internationally. | |||||||||||||||||||

This concept was first addressed at the Nobel Peace Prize Forum, 2017. I am contributing to Caux Forum: Just Governance and Human Security in Geneva, in July 2018. I have supported the U.S. Mission in Baghdad, Iraq, and the Ministry of Human Rights. I worked in Tripoli, Libya to improve the justice system with the Ministry of Justice. I have extensive and in depth knowledge about root causes of conflicts in the MENA region, cultures, language, and the social systems. This region has suffered from multiple conflicts that negatively impacted the security, stability, environment, agriculture and the economic systems. My deep understanding of the nature of conflicts and instability in the MENA region, has been advanced with a Master’s Program in Peace Operations, including Peacekeeping, Peace-making and Peace-building, from George Mason University. In addition, I have worked on case studies on UN Peacekeeping missions in Haiti, Timor-Leste, Somalia, and Rwanda. I have professionally worked at various capacities on complex challenges of Iraq, Syria, Libya, Jordan, Haiti, Nigeria, Rwanda, Bosnia/Herzegovina, Kosovo and Mozambique; and Department of Homeland Security, and Department of State projects. The fragility of our interconnected world, requires promotion of dialogues to address and evaluate innovative frameworks for peacekeeping, peacebuilding and sustaining viable peace globally. | I am a SME on emergency preparedness & response, humanitarian relief, protection of displaced women and children, and international development.

I have attached the presentation above in this application. Finally, I have been invited to contribute to Caux Forum: Just Governance for Human Security in Geneva in July 2018 ( http://www.caux.ch/jg-2018-speakers) | I would like to highlight the importance of engaging key stakeholders and actors in the field of peacebuilding and peacekeeping. This is not only the burden and risk of the UN organization, it should be a shared risk among all sectors including public, private, innovative social entrepreneurial business, civil societies and human rights advocates. This remarkable event is a great example of this type of engagement, that creates the environment for fresh and innovative approaches to come to lights. I would like to emphasize a path forward for follow ups not only with the UN but also with other participants in order to achieve more comprehensive solutions. I think it is important to have a look back to achievements and challenges ahead with the fact that internet and social media have changed the world and there is more to come from emerging technologies for peacebuilding and humanitarian causes that should be worth examining. | |||||||||||||||||||

We aim to convene women and youth leaders with national/global actors to effectively address global issues, as decision-makers often overlook their voices. I provide key training and mentorship to young leaders, equipping them with tools to excel, including public speaking skills, research and writing, and supporting them on personal projects tied to the SDGs. Our mentees have advocated for gender equality in Canadian Parliament, developed anti-hate campaigns through art, featured in interviews at UNGA and established free legal aid initiatives for underprivileged communities in El Salvador. Our program is expanding online to provide access to leadership tools/resources and develop a collaborative network of sustainable mentorship, where our mentees will mentor others. I’ve established partnerships with local leaders in Nuqui, Colombia, a region highly affected by violence and drug trafficking, to develop tailored peacebuilding workshop programs focused on enhancing their leadership skills, youth mentorship, and amplifying their voices through film and traditional/social media. We also launched The Omnis Fund to research health disparities faced by refugee women in camps/communities, using local expertise to provide solutions, as health and women’s reproductive rights are key to implementing peace and security. | Aziza is a co-founder and Executive Director of Omnis Institute, an organisation dedicated to amplifying the voices of emerging local leaders, particularly women and youth, with a focus on gender equality, inclusive leadership and implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. Aziza has also worked in an advisory role for UN High-Level Commissioner on Health Employment & Economic Growth and UN Sustainable Development Goals Advocate, Dr Alaa Murabit, on the intersection of health, peace and security, including dialogue on developing sustainable strategies towards inclusive governing processes and direct mentorship from her. Beyond Omnis, Aziza is an avid researcher, with a passion for addressing health challenges in children, having pursued a Master’s in Biological Sciences at Royal Holloway, University of London, and a PhD in Biochemistry at UCL Institute of Child Health, also patenting a novel treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy. Whilst at UCL, Aziza was an Athena SWAN steering committee member, driving solutions to gender equality issues and women’s career advancement at a departmental level, by developing equitable policies, enhancing support for parents, and improving promotion to achieve gender parity in all academic positions. Aziza strongly believes that empirical data is key to building effective policies, with health underscoring many of the global challenges faced in the world today. Aziza has worked on developing online tools to address public health challenges in post-conflict regions, utilising social media, graphic design and scientific research. | Yes | Interactive Dialogue II - Strengthening the United Nations Work on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace in the Field Interactive Dialogue III - Strategic Partnerships with the United Nations in the Field for Peace Interactive Dialogue IV - UN Comprehensive and Integrated Approach to Peace | Yes | I have extensive public speaking experience, having presented at numerous national and international conferences, as well as industry showcases, throughout the course of my academic career, including winning a prize for best speaker at a recent conference, awarded by The Biochemical Society. Beyond public speaking at conferences, I also frequently present seminars at UCL Institute of Child Health, also running skills workshops for students, as well as STEM careers talks at local secondary schools. I’ve also interviewed for local radio stations and podcast series, covering local sociopolitical issues and the role of youth and women in influencing social development. My experience allows me to confidently flex my public speaking abilities to adapt to a wide range of media and audiences, from children, to academic specialists to the wider general public. | Sustainable peace cannot be achieved without inclusive leadership. And I believe women and youth are at the crux of sustainable peacebuilding. When women and youth are involved at the decision-making table, solutions are more likely to last longer, be more cost-effective and work to the benefit of society. When women and youth are provided with ways to enhance their leadership and agency, they’ll be more equipped to tackle climate change, health crises and socioeconomic challenges. When women and youth are neglected or silenced, we move away from developing equitable, prosperous societies and dangerously toward failure. And in post-conflict societies, where peace is fragile, and women and minorities marginalised, amplifying women and youth voices becomes more crucial. This is evidenced in the pivotal role that women played in peacemaking efforts in Colombia. We see this in our work on the ground with local leaders, such as Josefina Klinger and her organisation Mano Cambiada in Nuqui, a town riddled with violence and narcotrafficking. Josefina works to break the cycle of drug violence through youth education and sustainable tourism strategies. We work to adapt her model to fit other parts of Colombia and amplify her voice to reach national and global actors. Her efforts are key to peace in Nuqui. And without working with local leaders like her, we will not succeed in developing sustainable, long-term and inclusive peace solutions to the peacebuilding challenges we face today. | |||||||||||||||||||

Water represents the most important natural resource and is a key for sustainable development. Water tackles numerous economic and social sectors (agriculture, energy, transport, tourism, food security etc.)The management of waters must be integrally considered, especially in terms of the availability and status of water resources, the state of infrastructure, property relations. While the population grows and living standard increases, the amount of available water reserves and access to of drinking water supply is rapidly decreasing. It is certain that water becomes the subject of interest and present and future conflicts, both at local and global scales. Climate change is a global phenomenon, because its does not recognize borders. The consequences of climate change are extreme events such as droughts and floods,. The human activities have been recognized as the biggest factor causing the climate change and inadequate water resource management. It is necessary to work in a multidisciplinary manner and in several directions including the effective enforcement of national and international legislation and inspection services, education and public awareness through various programs by the state and CSO, cross border projects, the provision of financial and professional capacity to help the most vulnerable countries and territories prone to conflicts. | |||||||||||||||||||

As a Paramount ruler bestowed with the responsibility of making peace in my community and my state of origin my effort towards this direction had been justified and not only being a paramount alone but also as a lawyer and a lecturer I have enormous task to ensure the reign of peace in my state and country. Going by the way as a paramount ruler, I do engage my community people on Peace Talk, Peace Round Table Conversation and Community Town Hall Meetings. At each stage, members of our community are giving the opportunity to speak out their grievances and solution provided instantly as a leader that abhors procrastination knowing that injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. These approaches as aforementioned are various ways by which my community has been enjoying peace and tranquillity till date.

He was brought up with fear of God and respect to humanity. His early upbringing right from teenager to adulthood is known for forthrightness and upright disposition as his quest for quality life made him taller than his peers in any endeavour. He acquired his primary education and secondary school certificates with good outstanding grades. His performance at both levels propelled his quick admission into the Polytechnic of Calabar where he obtained a HND in accounting. At the passage of time, he later secured admission into the University of Calabar where after rounding-off his courses; he bagged his Law Degree (LLB Hons.) and later proceeded to Imo State University and obtained a Master Degree (MSc) on Industrial Sociology and Personnel Management. His brilliant performance at various institutions of learning has been an inspiration to him in such a manner that he proceeded to acquire more knowledge at the same University of Calabar where he was certified with a Ph.D degree in Sociology (Criminology). Presently, he is a lecturer at the University of Calabar in Cross Rivers State of Nigeria and National Open University of Nigeria. He is a professional member of many instructions in Nigeria. At the moment, he is a occupying a royal priesthood as the Paramount Ruler of Calabar Municipality a man with in-depth knowledge on peace-building, he is married with six children. | Nil | Nil | Yes | Interactive Dialogue II - Strengthening the United Nations Work on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace in the Field Interactive Dialogue III - Strategic Partnerships with the United Nations in the Field for Peace Interactive Dialogue IV - UN Comprehensive and Integrated Approach to Peace | Yes | My experience as a Paramount Ruler of my community, Calabar Municipality in Cross Rivers State of Nigeria, I am frequently engaged by the Media. My effort in making peace and appointing vibrant youth leaders as agent of change is never being done in the secrete; While talking about Media engagement my ability in promoting peace goes a long way to justify my stands as a Libra democrat which gives me the opportunity to promote freedom of speech and freedom of association in my locality. My exposure as a lawyer further gives me the opportunity to discus with the Media on matter of national interest. My profession as an Accountant, my attitude at work place and public interaction is regulated by the rules of my engagement. As a Lecturer, I do not support intimidation, racism, press oppression and violence against women and girls. I do encourage Press Club in secondary schools within my state as a philosopher who believes in talent hunt as a means of catching them young for the good of the state and the world at large. In a nutshell, I have a robust relationship with the media practitioner in my country; hence the media houses serve as vehicle through which we can convey the language of peace to the general public. | The opportunity to speak at the event will afford me the time to encourage all member states of the United Nations to draw-up a master plan towards promoting peace-building. First, I will introduce the “I Support UN Campaign” an initiative that has to be carried by all world leaders within the United Nations. Secondly, I will use the opportunity to promote “”No Budget Cut Action Plan Against the UN”. You can agree with me that effective budget will consequently lead to effective peacekeeping effort. Thirdly, I will suggest to the United Nations to ensure the opening of UN Centres across all learning institutions in the world with this approach the United Nations will be abreast to receiving information on their progress. Fourthly, I am of the opinion that the United Nations should task all the Country Team Leaders to draw-up a master plan for peace development that will be subjected to serious examination by civil society organisation operating in those countries and their observation to the President of the UN General Assembly. Fifth, the United Nations peacekeepers should refrain from cases of rape, sexual assaults and gross violence of human rights which the United Nations stands against from the inception. | |||||||||||||||||

For instance, poor agricultural performance in any region has the potential to fuel violent conflicts, and robust agricultural development can contribute to peace and security, especially in countries prone to civil war. Should I be selected to participate in this committee, I will assist in identifying strong cases that represent the agricultural sector and seek to articulate its contribution towards global peace beyond contribution towards food emergencies and mitigating poverty for large numbers, but how agriculture can be used as a tool to decrease motivation for the rural poor, especially youth, to join armed forces in an attempt to improve their standard of living. I also hope to learn more about how communities (small scale women farmers, civil society, youth etc.) can be educated on various elements of peace processes including mediation, negotiation and dialogue and lastly, I hope to use this platform to scout for ideas that my organization can potentially support; that explores the value of inclusion of peace processes, strategies and approaches in the agricultural sector - going beyond alleviating poverty and fostering economic development. | Precious has a Master’s degree in Development and Social Sciences with the University of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa and is currently serving as the Head of Inclusivity at Solidaridad Network, Southern Africa.

Change requires engagement with high politics and it is for this reason that UNYSA Cyprus has always been close to the decision-making centres. Within six months of our foundation we were called to deliver the first major project in par with our main objectives. We set forth to send the first Cypriot bi-communal youth delegation to visit the Permanent Missions of Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, the UK and Russia in New York; Greek Congressmen in Washington D.C. and officials of the US State Department. The message was simple: offer the youth lens in dealing with a stagnating issue and offer our perspective on the required societal convergence which would enable a solution and a safe post-solution situation. Since then we have brought young Cypriots together from all the communities and socioeconomic backgrounds to discuss several matters. There have been multiple past and present projects, but the one I am most proud of is the ongoing effort to develop a regional youth forum which will take example from the trilateral summits devised by Cyprus and encompassing Eastern Mediterranean nations, as means of promoting multilateral diplomacy and the values of prosperity, cooperation and stability. We hope to receive the support of the UN Secretariat and inspire a new wave of momentum, where the youth will pressure for a better future world, where conflicts are settled by diplomacy. | Growing up, I found myself to be very reflective and critical on how things were run. Poverty, conflict, corruption and cleptocracy were concepts which I strongly believed should had been eradicated thousands of years after civilisation emerged. At the age of 16 I embarked on the long journey to have my voice heard. It started on a school level, where I represented the institution on national Model United Nations and debating competitions. I was then selected to represent my country at the European Youth Parliament International Forum in Belgium in 2013. I was granted the skills when my application to take part in a US State Department leadership and conflict resolution programme in Washington D.C. was successful. Soon my contribution evolved on the real scale of politics. I found myself arranging meetings, such as the one between the Vice-President of the Greek Nea Dimokratia and the British governing Conservative Party. I was not just the convenor but also the agenda setter, encompassing ideas on how to promote prosperity and cooperation. Throughout these years I have changed as a person and have realised that change is often undesired by those who benefit from the status quo. There is thus a way of achieving change through compromise, and by ensuring it is sustainable and positive. I am currently at UCL where my degree in politics, sociology and area studies (East Europe) has taught me to be adaptable, self-reflective, and critical; to view the grand-scale of things and the details and cultivate skills to support my natural urge for change and innovation. | https://twitter.com/ghadjipavlis?lang=en | https://www.facebook.com/hadjipaul95 | Yes | Interactive Dialogue II - Strengthening the United Nations Work on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace in the Field Interactive Dialogue III - Strategic Partnerships with the United Nations in the Field for Peace Interactive Dialogue IV - UN Comprehensive and Integrated Approach to Peace | Yes | My first experience was when the success of UNYSA on peacebuilding attempts got us an invitation at the bi-communal programme Biz Emis. We expressed the reasons of our dissatisfaction with conventional thinking and how little changes can alter the problematic landscape and the ever-existing gridlock. We also expressed joy at the then positive developments in the negotiations but cautioned potential collapse due to the lack of foundations of convergence between the communities. We detailed our vision and explained how it unravels in our events and the intended effects it has. My second experience was when the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation covered one my events at the UK Parliament. Here I explained my role of being the person who inspired and created the event. I explained the importance of having 100 young students and grant them the ability to directly engage with British parliamentarians, top-level diplomat and academic experts on the matter. The Commonwealth gathers Members from every continent and major religion, which harmoniously engage in cooperation. It gathers together entities which represent more than 2.4 billion people and promotes values of democracy, free speech, human rights and the rule of law, showing the way forward in what will inevitably be a global world. Since then I have been called to offer comments in numerous national newspapers. The videos are archived by CyBC but can be granted on request. Photos are available on my Twitter account. | The United Nations is the sole international organisation with the universal participation of recognised member-states and the right to uphold international law and order. It is marvellous institution which arose in a special moment in human history; a moment of suffering, pain and destruction. However, its credibility is being challenged at multiple levels. A key challenge to the institution is the perceived inadequacy in seeing the closure of interminable conflicts, and thus casting a shadow over the organisations conflict resolution capabilities in the present and future. The new generation must have an input. This is to complement the process and invoke positive emotions of cooperation, prosperity, friendship, and forgiveness. What the process and the two leaders have missed is the necessity for true convergence, which is the primary safeguard that shall keep the reunified state together without the need of actual or the threat of violence. True means of convergence: learning each other’s language; cross-community fora; with the reconciliation process; financial and practical incentives; business incubators; common business zones like Korea. It is these small steps that matter the most. Resolving the Cyprus problem is within reach and can have substantial snowball effects in offering a much-needed example in a very troubled region, and renewing confidence on the peace-building capabilities of the United Nations, an instrumental institutions in preserving global security. | |||||||||||||||||

All countries experiencing water, food or job issues can benefit from solar distillation technologies for cost effective desalination. Applications of the technology can address all 17 U.N. STG's. This proposal regards a feasible way to increase global water security and is intended for the water and conflict peacekeeping toolkit since water for survival and commerce has always been a cornerstone of civilization. Peace, or lack of violence, is historically related to a lack of basic human resources that cause a political, social and economic ripple effect, often leading to deadly conflict. The U.S. DoD has approved co-funding for sponsors. All invited. By Integrating this technology and using RESEVED MARKETS, we, as one, can create a smarter stronger and more effective U.N. This I.P. rollout will produce positive innovation impact results by a scale of magnitude. We have received positive response from the U.N. office in The Republic of Haiti, regarding the UNICEF WASH program for cholera red zones. Panama, Mexico, the Philippine Islands, and the U.S. have given us the green light. It seems that all countries can benefit from using this technology to improve the U.N. SDG's in their region of the world. Specifically, the I.P. engages Public Private Partnerships with authorization from the host Nation's Water Authority. MSME's assemble distribute and service solarstills with their own, hyper-local, community based green industry. Open floor for discussion | Born: Boston Ma. Education: UVM Occupation: Manufacturer/Inventor Ref: USPTO# 6,797,124 ""solar distillation Interests: Science, art, music, manufacturing, business, HADR efforts Agriculture, family, religion, music, government, sociology, technology,swimming, skiing and tennis. I grew up in Boston and moved to Tucson for the sunny weather. After getting sick from not replacing my charcoal water filter, I searched for a better solution. Solarstills produced water that was great tasting and healthy to drink so I developed one that works for a lifetime, requires very little maintenance and patented it. In the process, related new discoveries came to light regarding health and agriculture. After doing a lot of prototyping and market research, I realized that with the right organization, this technology could help make the world a better one. Although we have developed a good organization, things have grown too fast and there is no single organization, only a large and interoperable group of organizations, that can help to deploy this sustainable technology. My life's goal is to improve QOL for underserved and stressed populations. As a sociologist and scientist, this technology offers us the opportunity to encourage hope, not confirm despair. As one, we can now address all 17SDG's plus confront climate change, political instability, unrest and transnational migration. The U.S. Office of the Secretary of Defense has approved some matching funding to help us produce this solution in different regions and in conjunction with the U.N. as a sponsor, so why not consider it? | Yes | Interactive Dialogue I - Sustainable Financing for Peace Interactive Dialogue II - Strengthening the United Nations Work on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace in the Field Interactive Dialogue III - Strategic Partnerships with the United Nations in the Field for Peace Interactive Dialogue IV - UN Comprehensive and Integrated Approach to Peace | Yes | Took public speaking in college | introducing some new technology to address some old problems. Solar distillation technologies can seamlessly integrate with many existing U.N. programs and thereby contribute a new and more interoperable paradigm for the future. Long term sustainable peace is easier to negotiate and maintain with the hope of good water, better health, more food and jobs. The ability to sustainably generate its own profits and to address a critical community-driven need for potable water provides a platform to produce other related solar products. This approach reduces the burning of fossil fuels, creates less pollution and climate change that causes encroaching seawater. Contaminated wells can be remediated and our oceans can be unlocked to provide crystal clear drinking water. Recommendations include reading the patent, verification of claims, testing the hardware, doing the numbers and then hiring me as a consultant to help implement the program(s). open floor for discussion Applications of the technology can sustainably address all 17 U.N.

I have also conducted research, build models, and elaborate strategies that are replicable and pilotable whether for stakeholders and private sector verticals, or horizontally among the artistic and entrepreneurial community. I am focusing all my endeavours as a global entrepreneur and technologist into building lasting cultural bridges between people, and for this, I do engage the entirety of the ecosystem, in a holistic approach. As a jurist, I value the peace-building and the peace sustaining capacity contained within fair trade practices and sustainable development, and I do believe that the peace between people is in itself a continuous process that needs a collective support based on consensus and resilient to conflicts, for these reasons I committed my knowledge and expertise to business diplomacy, community building. I also resolved to leverage legal strategy and corporate finances to solve social problems, and build social resilience. I travelled to some of the most powerful economies in the world and engaged with high-level stakeholders, advocating strategies for impact, culture and arts as a civil protection from radicalization, and creative industries as a major drive for job generation. | Toufik Lahjouji was born and raised in Casablanca, in a modest upbringing, he manifested interest in science, and technology since an early age. After growing up in Casablanca, he moved with his family to Agadir during his last year of high school, where he obtained his Baccalaureate degree. Taoufik succeeded his first year and got noticed and encouraged by both the professorial corpus and fellow students. Unfortunately, he had to go back to Agadir to assume financial responsibility for his family, in 2009. A few years later he went on to continue his Law studies, he enrolled back to the university and made it through his first couple of years to be selected for a high-level pilot class in applied legal sciences specialized in Enterprise Law.

Member states, through their participation in UN lead missions for peace and the interactivity with the UN system, gain a considerable experience that can be employed locally and regionally into building the necessary self-reliance capacity and mechanisms to build and sustain peace, gradually, with the benevolent help of the UN and other member states and stakeholders. I would like to convey, also, the importance and urgency of investing in youth and including them in the development of financial policy and financial frameworks in order to unlock the necessary potential for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, a technological era that can be at the source of great financial prosperity with the inclusion of youth. Excluding the youth from decision making will become a source of social and societal tensions that will bleed into the political and economic fabric and disrupt the peace. | |||||||||||||||||

This network is why we were able to keep the peace in the 2017 Kenyan elections. 6 months before the elections, I asked a childhood friend, Milar, one of Kibera’s most influential residents, to become a peace ambassador. Over many weeks we met with hundreds of leaders across Kibera to preach an allegiance to our community. We held town halls, wrote about the price of violence in our newspaper “The Ghetto Mirror” and paid youth to do clean ups. Despite provocations of the police and calls for violence, peace held on in Kibera. My friend Leymah Gbowee, Nobel Peace Prize laureate from Liberia, joined me at several town hall meetings before the Supreme Court was set to rule on the validity of the election. Leymah asked, “If you burn down your community, where will your child go to the hospital?” The audience answered, “Nowhere.” “Where will the children of your politicians go?” They replied, “London, South Africa, India.” Afterward, Milar came to me, his face streaked with tears. “We have to stop fighting the rich man’s wars,” he said. In that room, surrounded by women and men who had fought on the streets before, a realization dawned: We must fight poverty, not one another. On Sept. 1, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the opposition’s petition and annulled the election. And the peace held. It will be only through the experience of hope and community-led progress that this peace might last. Together, we can build something that our politicians promise but cannot deliver: lasting hope. | One of Africa’s best-known community organizers and social entrepreneurs, Kennedy Odede is a New York Times best-selling author and the Co-Chair of the Youth Panel for the International Commission on Financing Global Education Opportunity. He was raised in Kibera, the largest urban slum in Africa, where he experienced the devastating realities of life in extreme poverty. Still, he dreamed about changing his community. While working at a factory in 2004, Kennedy saved 20 cents, purchased a soccer ball, and started the Shining Hope for Communities (SHOFCO) movement. Driven by the innovation and entrepreneurial spirits of the people of Kibera, SHOFCO became the largest grassroots organization in the slum. Although he was entirely informally educated, Kennedy received a full-scholarship to Wesleyan University, becoming one of Kibera’s first to receive an education from an American liberal arts institution. He graduated in 2012 as the Commencement Speaker and with honors in Sociology. Kennedy was awarded the 2010 Echoing Green Fellowship, which is given to the world’s top emerging social entrepreneurs. He won the 2010 Dell Social Innovation Competition, wrote two Op-Eds that appeared in the New York Times, was named one of Forbes’ 2014 30 Under 30: Social Entrepreneurs, and is a member of the Clinton Global Initiative.

That to the extent people are engaged in democracy, they will defend its values including peaceful solutions to conflict That transforming urban slums has to be a two-pronged approach of providing access to education, good health care, clean water and nutritious food AND organizing and empowering people to demand solutions from their government via engagement and voting.

Prior to joining HPG I was the Head of Policy Analysis and Innovation at the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, where I led OCHA's efforts on aid effectiveness, risk and resilience and the links among humanitarian, development and peacebuilding. I have lived and worked in Afghanistan, Pakistan and South Sudan, for both the United Nations and NGOs focusing primarily on the links between relief and development. As a speaker for this High Level Meeting, I would put forward a set of concrete proposals for consideration by Member States to ensure 1) stronger mutual accountability between the UN and its members; 2) operational autonomy by the UN; 3) adequate capacity and resources for conflict prevention and sustaining peace, including through the development of innovative financial instruments; 4) political space and support. | Christina Bennett is the Head of the Humanitarian Policy Group at the Overseas Development Institute based in London. She has close to 20 years of experience in humanitarian policy and programming has lived and worked in Afghanistan, Pakistan and South Sudan. While at HPG, Christina has focused on analysing the changing humanitarian landscape and its implications for humanitarian principles, architecture and partnerships. Christina was the lead author for ODI’s 2016 flagship publication, Time to let go: Remaking humanitarian action for the modern era, published ahead of the World Humanitarian Summit last year and is currently leading a two-year research project on local humanitarian action. Prior to joining HPG, Christina was the Chief of Policy Analysis and Innovation at the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), where she led OCHA’s analytical efforts on a range of issues, including aid effectiveness, risk and resilience and the links among humanitarian, development and peacebuilding approaches to aid. | @hpg_odi; @crbennett | https://www.facebook.com/HumanitarianPolicyGroup/ | Yes | Interactive Dialogue I - Sustainable Financing for Peace Interactive Dialogue II - Strengthening the United Nations Work on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace in the Field Interactive Dialogue III - Strategic Partnerships with the United Nations in the Field for Peace Interactive Dialogue IV - UN Comprehensive and Integrated Approach to Peace | Yes | I have extensive experience in public speaking, both in international forums and with the media. * I am a regular and featured speaker at ODI https://www.odi.org/events/4454-priorities-new-un-secretary-general * I have been featured in the international news media http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3cstyd6 - I have appeared in videos and podcasts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-mpUi-1Nps | Focused UN action on preventing conflict and sustaining peace requires both an operational shift in the way the UN approaches its own capacity and mobilises resources for its activities.

Much of the disorder and suffering is entirely man-made and a direct result of the wrongful conduct and injustices perpetrated by humans. Wars are being fought, conflicts are erupting and horrific cruelties are being committed. We are seeing civil wars taking place and we are also seeing wars between nations. Both domestically and at an international level, society is becoming increasingly divided and fragmented.

Pursuing the goal of peaceful and sustainable development of the communities concerned, the Fund takes the path of informal education, inter-cultural exchange, social entrepreneurship and youth involvement. In respect to its activities and the topics of the Interactive Dialogues III and IV, the Fund has to identify several issues, which need to be addressed. First of all, we see the need to enhance communication and interaction between the United Nations, its relevant agencies, and NGOs. This also includes cooperation and exchange between NGOs themselves as clearly, more concerted action and sharing of experience would lead to more successful outcomes. The Fund is also convinced that giving more UN expertise and methodology and their more universal and effective communication would provide agency for NGOs to replicate the good practices in peace education and training, thus empowering them to promote sustainable peace agenda with due quality and accuracy. The Fund is committed to share its opinion on the suggested issues and possible ways of their resolution. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Guided by the principle that youth are key actors in peace building, I have developed programs that enhance the ability of Nigerian youths to foster mutual respect, understanding and sustainable peace in Nigeria. For example, in 2013, I launched the Emerging African Leaders Program (ELP), a three-year structured leadership mentoring program raising a new generation of political and government leaders imbued with the values and skill set necessary to facilitate inclusive development and mutual co-existence in Nigeria. Currently, I am facilitating networking and exchange among 470 youths in the program. Some of the strategies that I am using to engender peaceful co-existence, solidarity and intercultural understanding among these youths include: (1) Pairing youths from various tribes in a room during our frequent national leadership trainings. (2) Inspiring youths to work in intercultural, interreligious and intertribal teams on community projects across Nigeria. Presently, we have 38 of such projects across Nigeria including youth Constitutional workshops and discourse fora on peaceful co-existence and inclusiveness that I launched in January 2018. Through advocacy and discourse fora the workshops are promoting peaceful co-existence, inclusiveness, acceptance and tolerance behaviors as well as nationalistic tendencies - as against ethnic and religious sentiments - using the Nigerian Constitution as a core instrument of Peacebuilding. | Godswill Agbagwa was born and raised in a diverse family in Nigeria. He grew up peacefully in same household with his Muslim cousins. His Yoruba sister-in-law supported his education and cares for him. In college, Godswill was shocked to learn that the peace he enjoyed as a child was rare in the larger Nigerian space. He worked for peace between rival religious groups and dedicated his 200-page capstone paper in Religious Studies to ecumenism. His graduate studies and ministry as a Catholic Priest in the U.S. exposed him to more cultures. Further experiences of racial, political, cultural and religious rivalry led him to explore solidarity as a principle of global unity and peace in his PhD dissertation. In 2013, Godswill launched the Centre for Social Awareness, Advocacy and Ethics, Inc. (CSAAEINC) to nurture a new generation of African leaders that can facilitate inclusive development and end poverty for all in Africa. His work at CSAAEINC led to his election as a member of Word Bank and IMF Civil Society Policy Forum Permanent Working Group representing Africa. Godswill has graduate trainings in mediation, ethics and sociopolitical development. He is adjunct professor of Catholic Social Teaching at St. Mary's Univ. in Baltimore - a class that focuses on justice and peace. As the founder of CSAAEINC, Godswill has over the years become the champion of youth engagement with inclusive development in Africa. He is a frequent speaker on youth solidarity and will be speaking on youths, anticorruption and inclusive development at the upcoming World Bank Spring Meetings. | https://www.linkedin.com/in/godswill-agbagwa-231b036b/ | https://www.facebook.com/godswill.agbagwa | Yes | Interactive Dialogue II - Strengthening the United Nations Work on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace in the Field | Yes | First, as the founder and president of a fast growing youth focused organization, I give the keynote speeches at our two major annual conferences attracting not less than 1,000 youths and prominent persons in Nigeria at each event. Second, I am a University Professor teaching both undergraduate and graduate students. This job requires the art of public speaking. Third, I am a Catholic priest preaching homilies daily and on Sundays to people of various socioeconomic and academic backgrounds. Fourth, as part of my work as the president of CSAAEINC, I grant press conferences each time we have any national or even state events. I am used to taking questions from the press and can engage the public. I have been invited to speak at several international conferences involving the academia and other high level personnels in the society. https://www.facebook.com/godswill.agbagwa/videos/vb.1110457767/10213950357768967/?type=2&video_source=user_video_tab https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/06/corruption-religious-leaders-failed-nigeria-rev-fr-agbagwa/ | Strengthening the U.N. work on peacebuilding and sustaining peace through strategic “De-Biasing” of youths. After years of mentoring youths (ages 16-30) from every ethnic group and religion in Nigeria, my experience is that a key factor in the rising ethnic and religious tensions in Nigeria is cultural bias handed down from one generation to another. As part of our three-year structured leadership mentoring, I have frequent one-on-one sessions with youths in the program. One of the questions I have asked these youth is to identify instances of unfair treatment by someone from another ethnic group or religion. 97% were not able to identify any. Surprisingly 91% of them said that they struggle with trusting people of other tribes. After sharing a room with a Hausa girl – which we do on purpose to “de-bias” – an Igbo girl confessed that she was scared when she heard that she was to share a room with a “Hausa girl.” She had grown to fear anything “Hausa” just from what her people say about Hausa people. But after sharing room with this girl for three days, she described her as the best person she ever met. The Hausa girl echoed same. Thus, without prejudice to other factors, the belief that the ethnic groups hate each other is at the root of ethno-religious tension among Nigerian youths. The above findings support it. I have developed strategic “De-Biasing” education for youths which I will share at the meeting to initiate conversation on “De-Biasing” at the U.N. | |||||||||||||||||

Through my work with local academic institutions and municipalities, I am pushing for the creation of more resilient, informed and comprehensive academic curriculum for public institutions, that will allow the youth to gain an introduction to conflict resolution. 3) Research: Institutionally, I am working at Georgetown University to look at rapidly developing financial trends, especially in the developing world, and exploring how these economic shifts are impacting political and geo-strategic realities of peace-building in volatile regions. With unconventional research methodologies, I am particularly investigating the role of the Post-2015 development agenda in peace-making processes. | Ali Shahbaz has been the Pakistan Youth Ambassador to the United Nations and has represented the country at a multitude of international and regional platforms including the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development, the Rio+20; UNEP, UNDP, UNESCAP, UNFCCC, and the UN Office of the General Assembly. Additionally, he has engaged with the World Environment Education Congress, the World Bank, the UN Foundation as well as the Council of Europe in creating momentum for youth's role in decision making in conflict resolution. Shahbaz works in three main fields: 1) Sustainable development and climate finance; 2) Conflict-resolution and peace-building; and 3) Intergenerational justice. In this process, he engages with local organizations, inter-governmental entities, and well as academic institutions to explore the intersection between sustainable development and political resolution, peace and stability. Shahbaz has studied in Pakistan, Switzerland and in the US at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service in Washington DC, where he focuses on the role of statecraft, cultural-intercourse, and security in managing and resolving conflict, particularly through the involvement of young people. He is currently in the process of researching the role of South Asian youth in leading the inter-faith movements for conflict resolution between India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. In this study, he is creating a framework for engaging young people in policy movement to make peace-building inclusive and holistic. | Aalishahbaz | Yes | Interactive Dialogue I - Sustainable Financing for Peace Interactive Dialogue IV - UN Comprehensive and Integrated Approach to Peace | Yes | Given my engagements as youth delegate to the United Nations, I have successfully delivered plenary speeches, conducted round-table discussions, interacted with the media/press, as well as offered spontaneous public speeches as responses at international events. My public speaking style includes three main features: 1) Engagement with the Audience: 2) precision of the content; and 3) stylistic accessibility of the delivery. Following this framework, I have spoken extensively at the UNFCCC, the N-HLPF, UNESCAP, and the UNEP. Following is a video of my speech at the United Nations Trusteeship Chamber, focusing on sub-regional cooperation for the post-2015 agenda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b55YlbdYvJg | An integrated approach to peace-building is key to peace-building. Policy-makers and stakeholders must engage in a three-pronged approach for conflict resolution and peace-making: 1) Identifying cultural, economic, historical and political intersections for modern conflicts. Such an analysis provides researchers with trend-lines, predictive evaluation and extrapolations of the status quo. 2) Explore synergies with stakeholders and sectors: It is imperative that peace-building is understood as a multi-disciplinary process that must include contributions from the political, economic and social sectors. Successful peace-building is multi-stakeholder, multi-issue focused and cross-sectoral, as we must learn to ""connect the dots"". 3) Creating frameworks for long-term stability: How do we create the infrastructure for long-term conflict management and peace-building? How do we address issues such as climate change, sustainability and access to resources in our discourse for peacemaking? How do we ensure that volatile regions attain lasting stability? And how do we build partnerships for ensuring the implementation of these policy changes? And what is the role that the future generations will play in leading this movement? These are the questions I wish to address in my speech remarks. | |||||||||||||||||||

In the Bush Administration, under the Office of Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services, I worked with NIH and CDC for large-scale research and data on positive youth development, and with Departments of State, Homeland Security and others to show governments, including USA, girls’ empowerment as an integral part of national security strategy. My action continued. As a member of the U.S. Civil Society Working Group on Women, Peace, and Security (WPS), I have worked closely with the Obama Administration on the US National Action Plan, and now, the Trump Administration on WPS Act. As 4GGL Founder, my life’s mission is to ignite the next generation EMPOWERED women changemakers around the world as a powerful force for change – ending war, authoritarianism and extremism. My expertise is women’s empowerment (beyond gender equality) and my focus is a new generation – Millennials. I have pioneered in research and data collection, conducting the FIRST EVER millennial women’s empowerment global survey, gathering voices from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, assessing their agency and capacity. Then, spanning 20 countries of refuge including US, UK and EU, I conducted the Syrian Millennial Women’s Empowerment Survey unveiling their dream of becoming peacebuilders. Now to illuminate the inner power of today’s young women, my goal is to collect this data in every country beginning with those at the frontline of war and revolution for powerful social change. | Jin In is a movement builder and changemaker. She started 4GGL to revolutionize the way we think of girls – from human trash to our most powerful force for change. Her mission is to ignite the next generation of empowered women changemakers. Her focus is in peace and security. Her expertise is in women's empowerment. Her research and data have shown the superpowers of empowerment and millennial women as exceptional peacebuilders. Jin’s passion and mission are interconnected to Herstory. Born into a wealthy family in South Korea, her wealth and worth ended abruptly when her father died, unexpectedly. Although she was just 7 months old, South Korea, then one of the poorest countries, had no rights or protection for girls. Fatherless baby girls had no value. But Jin knows powerful transformation is possible. In her lifetime, her birth country arose from one of the poorest to the 11th largest world economy, leapfrogging North Korea which had larger GDP. And Jin is a committed global citizen and girl champion. Through social justice action and community service, she learned that she – an 8-year-old immigrant from a poor country, raised by a widow – can change the world. Previously, Jin worked for the Bush Administration, leading the first for-girls, by-girls national health program that received 2001-2004 White House Award. She also led the newly created Global Action at Girl Scouts USA, a premier leadership organization for 2.3 million American Girls, working with 10 million girls in 145 countries. She also co-chaired girls' health at the first-and-only UN CSW for girls. | Yes | Interactive Dialogue II - Strengthening the United Nations Work on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace in the Field Interactive Dialogue III - Strategic Partnerships with the United Nations in the Field for Peace Interactive Dialogue IV - UN Comprehensive and Integrated Approach to Peace | Yes | I speak around the world.

In fact, the 66 million more males – the greatest gender and power imbalance of our planet – are having a devastating impact in our lives, fueling violence, war and extremism. The problem is power. The solution is empower. Empowering girls is the most powerful force for change – a solution to poverty, global warming, authoritarianism and terrorism.

On the other hand, we carry out social projects that contribute to development, diminishing the causes of violence in the community. In addition, I have participated in international youth events where they discuss and propose actions to influence levels of violence; Within my professional field, from international relations and public policies I have carried out research and proposals on priority issues of peace in Mexico, such as employment and migration issues. | My name is Rosario Hernandez and I’m from Mexico; I worked at Fundación Mídete, for three years, which is an organization of civil society whose main objective is to combat obesity, overweight and chronic non-communicable diseases by influencing public policies and the implementation of social projects in the theme. At Fundación Mídete, I had the position of Coordinator of Research and Public Policy. Our most important project in this period has been one of the main organizations responsible for tax on sugary drinks in Mexico. Furthermore, I represented Fundación Mídete in meetings with international organizations such as the Population Fund for the United Nations, where we work closely with other organizations to develop a National Agenda for Youth, bounded by the Post Agenda 2015. Moreover, I did an internship at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mexico, in the area of Human Rights and Democracy, being assistant analyst. I’m part of a network of young people makes social projects and promoting peace, called Rotary International. I studied a degree in International Relations and I studied the Master in Public and Social Policies at Pompeu Fabra University- Johns Hopkins University.

If the rates of violence are low, they're places where people can be really happy. In contrast, Mexico, although considered one of the most developed in the region, is also rated as one of the most unequal and in recent years, violence has been the leading cause of death in its young population. The circle of poverty would have to be called the circle of violence, because peace is determined by factors such as education, employment, good nutrition and health. For all thipis, it is urgent that the United Nations make its allies in the promotion of peace to youth organizations and local governments; they must be agents of change.What has surprised me the most about my participation in international events on health and the environment is the great activity of young people in these issues, who live in conflict zones, such as Palestine; later I understood that they're the ones who buy the needs of their population more and that the well-being of themselves to create a peaceful environment. In addition, the UN must be an ally and promote more partication of paradiplomacy actors such as local governments. | |||||||||||||||||||

Recently, a war recently happened in my hometown in Marawi City. It's estimated that around $173million have been lost--with thousands of Maranaos losing their homes and becoming internally displaced in the Philippines. Although I've been working on peacebuilding for many years, it was only last year that I personally witnessed the effects of war and terrorism in my homecity, and to my fellow people. Such experience is truly harrowing-most especially since I have relatives who became victims-losing their homes, and running away to avoid being trapped in the siege. Thus in response to this, my recent peacebuilding efforts have been through the following: 1) Raising funds for relief assistance to IDPs in evacuation camps; 2) Providing educational sessions and trauma-alleviating activities to Maranao children who've been displaced another nearby city (Balo-i City); and 3) Collaborating with local women craft-makers to provide livelihood opportunities for them (with the support of the U.S.-and-Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative). However, before the war broke out last year, I've been active in peacebuilding through the venture I founded called ""Children of Mindanao"". Through this, we help children from minority groups, and those who live in conflict-prone and/or impoverished areas to access education better. Not only do we provide school materials, but we also have built 3 Library-Peace Centers (attached to 3 local schools) where we conduct peace workshops and seminars. | I was born exposed to different layers of diversity in my life. First, I was born as a member of an ethnic-religious minority in the Philippines called the Maranaos. Before going to university, I spent almost a decade studying in a Catholic school for girls. There, I was the only the only Muslim and Maranao student. Nevertheless, that experience allowed me to realize the importance of unity amidst diversity. Previously, I served as PRESIDENT of the 10th National Youth Parliament of the Philippines (2014-2016), which is the biggest parliamentary gathering of young leaders in the country. I’m the first female AND ethnic-minority young Filipino to have been elected as President. I consider this as a feat, in terms of minority inclusion, women empowerment and youth engagement. For my efforts, I’ve been recognized as one of the “30 under 30 Gamechangers to Watch Out For” by Lifestyle Asia in 2017. I’ve also been selected as one of the 16 Young Leaders for Development of the 2017 European Development Days, wherein I also participated in high-level panels on conflict-prevention and post-crisis recovery. I moderated a session with UN Women, in particular with Ms. Hiba Qasas (Chief of Crisis Preparedness and Response, UN Women). Our brainstorming session was entitled “Reaching out to women in fragility contexts: Why and how?” I also participated as the youth representative in a High-Level Debate at the EDD entitled: “To Achieve Agenda 2030, Give Peace A Chance.”(https://edd-eu.photoshelter.com/gallery/To-achieve-agenda-2030-give-peace-a-chance-D2/G0000zqKutP8WKAE/C00006STr_s_qb.U | www.facebook.com/fghodsinia | Yes | Interactive Dialogue I - Sustainable Financing for Peace Interactive Dialogue II - Strengthening the United Nations Work on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace in the Field Interactive Dialogue III - Strategic Partnerships with the United Nations in the Field for Peace Interactive Dialogue IV - UN Comprehensive and Integrated Approach to Peace | Yes | One of my strenghths is in public speaking as a youth leader. I have spoken side-by-side with other panel speakers like Philippine Senators Bam Aquino, Richard Gordon, and Department of Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Cayetano. Beyond the Philippines, I continue my advocacy on girls/women empowerment, youth inclusion and peace in international settings, such as in the 2017 European Development Days (as one of the 16 Young Leaders for Development) and at the 2017 Singapore Summit (as one of the 18 Young Societal Leaders). 1) Among the 18 Young Societal Leaders of the Singapore Summit 2017, I was among the 3 selected to present at the final high-level panel of the Summit. This was one of the truly High-Level Panels I was blessed to have been part of. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VmOvbmhwRI&t=136s ) 2) At the EDD 2017, I participated in numerous sessions as a member of the panel itself, or as a moderator. Here's one of the session: ( https://edd-eu.photoshelter.com/gallery/To-achieve-agenda-2030-give-peace-a-chance-D2/G0000zqKutP8WKAE/C00006STr_s_qb.U ) 3) I've been interviewed in one of the news channels in the Philippines on my work and insights on peacebuilding. This TV broadcast generated a lot of positive attention even online (via articles and youtube). Here's a link of Part 1 of my interview: ( http://news.abs-cbn.com/focus/06/29/17/is-the-philippines-kind-to-muslims-up-valedictorian-sister-answer ) 4) I have more public speaking engagements - Kindly see my CV. | To achieve many of the Sustainable Development Goals, we need to give peace a chance. In forwarding the peace agenda, I'd like to specifically forward the inclusion of youth and of girls and women, in particular. Although the causes behind such armed conflicts are often complex and unique to each region,it cannot be denied that in order to have lasting peace, we need to include girls & women at the negotiating table.This means that girls are not regarded as mere victims,but rather as ACTIVE AGENTS of PEACE & REHABILITATION.What we need is genuine representation & leadership from the women’s sector—as they forward GENDER-SENSITIVE regional/national policies of PEACE & SECURITY—that involves all aspects from(1)conflict-prevention,(2)crisis-management(3)rehabilihation/post-conflict recovery&(4) resilience-building. Second, I'd also like to stress on the importance of engaging young people in the peace process. More than 1.8 billion people are between the ages of 10 and 24, and many of them live in developing countries. While the definition of youth varies from one state to another, it is undeniable that the today’s youth are not only beneficiaries of sustainable development, but also shapers and movers themselves. Thus, if selected to speak at this event, I'd like to help contribute towards having a more ""intimate"" space of intergenerational discussion among speakers and observers | ||||||||||||||||||

The problem that exists is that frequently youth of color are not provided the tools to autonomously address the root causes that will affect their communities for rest of their lives. Some of root causes include systemic racism and oppression, gender inequity, and discrimination against the LGBTQ and immigrant communities. ARTE works at both systemic and frontline levels to address the need for an arts and human rights education across New York City. Some of our strategies include: Embedding youth-centric and inclusive practices in our ARTE’s work related to human rights; Supporting integrated plans to prevent elimination of funding for art education; and Building relationships with other organizations that provide and/or prioritize art and/or human rights education. Overall, ARTE believes that change occurs when people are brought together people with a stake in arts and/or human rights education that include marginalized voices, to facilitate the search for common ground solutions, and to launch collaborative, creative efforts that advance this. ARTE will get closer to addressing the aforementioned root causes, as we continue to build the capacity of individuals to get trained and implement ARTE’s methodologies, thereby increasing their knowledge, effectiveness, and capacity for collective action on human rights issues. | #Marissa Gutiérrez-Vicario is the Founder and Executive Director of Art and Resistance Through Education (ARTE). As a committed human rights activist, artist, educator, and advocate for youth, Marissa launched ARTE in 2013 to help young people amplify their voices and organize for human rights change in their communities through the arts.

One of my key projects in this placement is organizing a Peace Summit that will happen from the 28th-30th November at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok. I want to be able to add value to our Peace Summit, and learn how a successful event focused on peace is executed. Since the United Nations is pivoting toward the younger generation and how to get us involved, I would like to learn what the role of youth is in peacebuilding. Young people are the future and we will be making up the new policies for the next generation. To truly be inclusive and forward thinking, it is imperative to include youth in the discussion. Too often, decisions are made for and without the next generation. During my short time here in Bangkok so far, I have attended the Asia-Pacific Commemoration of International Women’s Day at the United Nations, UN Women Ring the Bell for Gender Equality at the Stock Exchange of Thailand as well as a dialogue session with UNESCO where we discussed the importance of youth in achieving the various UN SDGs. I truly hope I get the opportunity to attend the Peace Summit in New York to expand my knowledge and learn more about peace from the people who have dedicated their lives for this ideal. | I recently graduated from the NUS’s Business School. I served as the President and Captain of the Golf Club for 3 years. My travels around the world have exposed me to a great deal of suffering caused by instability and unrest. 2 of my recent Community Service trips to Nepal and India have resonated with me that the world is full of inequalities. I knew I had to do something with my life to make any little contributions I could. Instead of taking the standard corporate route as expected of Business students, I decided to take up this post in Bangkok as a Youth Advocate, where I am proud to be planning the 9th USLS, happening at the UNCC from 1-7 August. The Symposium will bring 1,200 youths from around the world to discuss about the UN SDGs and what youths can do to effect social change. According to a UN report, there are 1.8 billion young people between 10 and 24, the largest youth population ever recorded. The Symposium we are planning is crucial in engaging the youth as I strongly believe that empowering youth can make a difference. Our past Symposiums’ success have shown that youth are keen to be part of the global conversation and are not apathetic to social change.

For some years, Nigeria has been faced with the challenge of Boko Haram insurgency. This insurgency has left thousands of children displaced without education, care and opportunity thus exposing them to the lure of radicalism and recruitment by Boko Haram insurgents. In response to this challenge, I started a project, known as the ""Save The Future Project"" which basically sets out to reach out to these displaced children with a view to provide them with education and counseling on peaceful coexistence, Use of English as well as feeding. This project faced the challenge of funding as well as security risks(traveling through routes vulnerable to attacks by Insurgents). However, with believe, determination and leverage on network of like minds the project achieved its aim and objectives. The success of this project taught me the importance of hard work, passion, networking and believe. It taught me to never give up - fall down six times, get up seven times!

From 2009 to 2012, ATD Fourth World ran a participatory research project exploring the links between poverty, violence, and peace.

Such activities have provided many communities in conflict with the life support of hope, as they endured through conflict. Lately, I have been working with a community in Southern Italy, which is engaging the local government, as well as European officials to address the case of a factory that is producing and selling weapons, which are being used in Yemen. In this case, the local community have asked New humanity for legal advice in opposing their involvement in the production of such weapons. It is a delicate situation, since that city is one of the poorest community in Italy and do not have many options, regarding employment but the armament factory. Our contribution is to provide elements, so that they can stand their ground in opposing the selling of weapons to be used in Yemen and at the same time promote dialogue among all stakeholders, in order to address the poverty issue in the area. | Endy Moraes, Director, Institute on Religion Law and Lawyer's Work at Fordham Law School, is a Brazilian lawyer with extensive experience in inter-religious and intercultural dialogue.

In the last five years, it has accompanied the peace process between the Colombian government and the FARC guerrilla through: justice proposals that recognize the rights of victims; proposals for the normative implementation of the Peace Agreement and interventions before the Constitutional Court and the Congress of the Republic, processes of training victims about their rights to truth, justice, comprehensive reparation and construction of a work strategy before the system that created the agreement of peace. We advanced in the construction of a strategy for CAJAR's participation before the Comprehensive Truth, Justice, Reparation, and Non-Repetition System. The central component of this strategy begins with what CAJAR has called differentiation, a concept to differentiate violence committed within the framework of the armed confrontation from socio-political violence committed against sectors of the left, opposition political leaders, and human rights defenders, among others. On the other hand, peace dialogues between the Colombian government and the National Liberation Army - ELN, in Spanish continue. After a bilateral truce between October 1st, 2017 and January 12th, 2018, military confrontations from both sides have returned, leading to a suspension of the 5th round of conversations. The great challenges to carry out advocacy in favor of the processes continuity, a bilateral ceasefire, and the definition of how to implement effective civil society and victim participation mechanisms persist. | Soraya Gutiérrez Arguello is a lawyer and human rights defender that has worked to defend victims of grave human rights abuses in Colombia.

Cementing mechanisms for feedback, accountability and inclusion seep the tools to sustain peace into citizens' everyday lives. | At the Institute for State Effectiveness, I focus on building new country programs, helping to develop country profiles and strategies to support country leadership and their development partners build accountable institutions, resilient systems and inclusive, country-led development plans to support the transition from crisis to peace, stability and growth. I also conduct research on community-driven development (CDD), gender, and digital governance approaches to development and conflict mitigation. My graduate degree in Global Affairs focused on gender and conflict, doing research on how gendered perceptions shape our understanding of war and peace, and the nuanced and diverse impacts women have in preventing, mitigating and also creating conflict. Previously I worked in women's education and economic empowerment with a focus on post-conflict contexts and how women's social inclusion can support sustaining long-term peace, including with grassroots NGOs in Rwanda and at the UN Women headquarters. This interest stems from personal family history, in which one side of my family were victims of the Holocaust in Nazi Germany while the other side contributed to the German war effort as soldiers and Nazi party members. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

The stint with UNESCO MGIEP (UN Specialized institute on sustainable development) pushed my cognitive development to identify avenues on Education to achieve peace and sustainable development. The conceptualization of a mobile application under the supervision of Institute Director to bring youth and youth letd organizations around the world on one platform was one such initiative. I'm currently the UN Global Schools Ambassador (In-training) for United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network- Youth (under the auspices of UN Secretary General), where as part of the initiative the objective is to directly support the UNESCO Global Action Programme on Education for Sustainable Development through the integrating of SDG into education settings, transforming environment for teachers and educators and empowering and mobilizing youth. Thus attaining peace through the education initiatives is one the strong element being required to be implemented. The UNGA high level event on sustainable peace and peacebuilding strongly coincides and synchronizes with the sub-objectives of the UNESCO Global Action Programme and provideds an excellent platform for coordination and identification of such elements to achieve sustainable development through education. | The present pace of development is highly non-synchronuous in nature, which constantly calls for integration of SDGs into education settings. Education, being identified as a powerful tool by UN is being highly sought after to build a 'System of Interconnectedness', which could likely tend to identify the linkages among the key pillars of environment, economic, social justice, peace, climate change etc.. in a holistic manner. My involvement with UNESCO IFIP open the cognitive gateways on ICT in Education for Sustainable Development which got further brushed up with the intergovernmental assignments at UNESCO MGIEP. This institution specifically targets in embedding the Education for peace and sustainable development. My conceptualization of a mobile application was one such initiative to wage peace and reduce violent extremism through international collaboration and interfaith. The coordination activities with EUCLID, an intergovnmental institution aims to prepare and design sustainable development courses to involve and enrich the kmowledge of various stakeholders for global south-south cooperation. The current assignment as UN Global Schools Ambassador (In-training) for UNSDSN Youth aims to integrate the UNESCO Global ACTION programmes at informal level through schools at local, national and international level. Thus its extremely important to identify and implement the key interlinked to break the traditional cognitive barrier among children and youth. The UNGA high level event is being sought to provide a platform to address those concerns. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Joining the Centre for Social Awareness, Advocacy and Ethics incorporated (Thereafter, CSAAEINC) in 2013, I have been working for Justice, good governance, inspirational leadership and strong institution in Africa. CSAAEINC is an advocacy group that challenges underdevelopment, corruption and poor leadership in Africa by investing in the younger generation and equipping them with the capacities to become successful leaders. Being the President of an arm of the organization, Network of Effective African Leaders, I have been working with about 30 young people drawn from various parts of Nigeria. In Nigeria, torn apart by ethnic consciousness and feuds, working with a diverse set of youths to effect positive change in the society would be considered an illusion but with Solidary being one of the group’s core values, I have initiated social programmes that fostered unity, love and co-operation within and beyond the group. These young people are not only trained to be patriotic citizens and good leaders but also learn to become community centered by engaging in community projects aimed at tackling social problems in their immediate societies.

We were taught the three major languages in the school and we had social events that depicted the richness of our cultures.Those Six years were the most memorable times of my life as I nurtured intra-tribal friendships that exist till date. After highschool, I gained an offer to study Accounting in Imo State University Owerri and while in school, I got involved with the Centre for Social Awareness, Advocacy and Ethics Incorporated. I graduated top of my class in 2015 and was enrolled into the National Youth Service Scheme, a one-year national service engaged by Nigerian graduates. While in the scheme, I taught Mathematics to Junior Secondary Students in Queens School Enugu and I began writing the Institution of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria professional examinations. Presently, I have successfully qualified as a Chartered Accountant. I have keen interests in development and Finance.
