Effectiveness Of Peacebuilding Approaches

Time: 10.20 am – 11.50 am (CET)
Effective peacebuilding programming is essential to help people in conflict-affected states lead safe and productive lives in which their human rights are respected. However, the number of impact evaluations that have investigated peacebuilding interventions remains relatively low. This panel brings together a range of perspectives from donor organizations, the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund, and impact evaluators to discuss approaches to overcoming the unique challenges of commissioning, planning, and conducting impact evaluations in peacebuilding settings. One focus of the panel will be the PeaceFIELD1 program, a novel impact evaluation initiative designed to develop new evidence about the effectiveness of peacebuilding approaches through impact evaluations of UN Peacebuilding Fund interventions. In this panel session, we will put some questions to operational and evaluation leaders from key organisations involved in the project. The format will be conversational in tone.
