Conflict Prevention and Peace Forum

"The ability of [the CPPF] team to provide us access to diverse networks of leading scholars, experts, and practitioners outside the United Nations system on and from areas in which we are engaged, and this often at short notice, is an asset we count on. Moreover, the ability of CPPF to bring together key partners within the United Nations in particular conflict situations has been of great value."

—B. Lynn Pascoe, Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs

The Conflict Prevention and Peace Forum (CPPF) was established in October 2000 to strengthen the knowledge base and analytical capacity of the United Nations system in the fields of conflict prevention and management, peacemaking and peacebuilding. It provides UN staff with a systematic channel to outside experts in order to deepen the national, regional, or thematic analysis on which the United Nations bases its work on conflict. Although small in size, it engages in program activities across the globe.
