Overview
Amman - Jordan
Building on A number of recent high-level policy and reform
processes, including the UN Sustaining Peace Agenda, a joint UN-World Bank
global study on conflict prevention, Pathways
for Peace: Inclusive Approaches to Preventing Violent Conflict (P4P) reaffirms the importance of informed
prevention. According to P4P, it is estimated that effective prevention would
save anywhere from $5 billion to $70 billion per year for each affected country
and the international community combined. Given the importance of prevention approach,
there is increasing interest in understanding what it means to the Arab region
and applying the findings from the global study in region specific context, so
that the study can be practically used for advancing conflict prevention.
The contextualization of P4P would lead to enhanced prevention
work at both regional and national levels. In order to facilitate this effort,
UNDP and ESCWA will organize a workshop to discuss operationalizing P4P in Arab
States, which prepares the ground for the forthcoming research commissioned by
experts to write policy papers that explore key questions of relevance to conflict
prevention in the specific regional context. These policy papers will highlight
actionable recommendations and findings that are based on reflections on what
has worked and what can be improved in the Arab region. Upon completion, these
policy papers will be presented at the high-level dialogue “the Dialogue on
Prevention in the Arab States Consultation” organized by UNDP and ESCWA in May
2019.
