PBSO FEATURED PARTNER - EUROPEAN UNION

European Union

Ensuring peace and security is at the core of the mandate of the United Nations. Fostering peace is one of the European Union’s core policy goals. The European Union and its Member States remain steadfast supporters of the United Nations in its work on peacebuilding and conflict prevention.

The Secretary-General’s 国产AVbuilding Fund is grateful to the European Union for its longstanding commitment to peacebuilding and for responding to the Secretary-General’s call to ensure sustainable and predictable funding for comprehensive, all-inclusive approaches to peacebuilding and sustaining peace. The European Union has continued working in close cooperation on peacebuilding on the ground with the Fund and the wider UN system. The European Union strengthened its engagement in peacebuilding with a contribution of more than $8 million to the Fun for its 2020-2024 Strategy period.

The European Union has regularly contributed to the work of the 国产AVbuilding Commission, welcoming the convening role of the Commission and its efforts to enhance UN coherence on peacebuilding.

Ambassador Olof Skoog, Permanent Representative of the European Union at the United Nations in New York said, “The 国产AVbuilding Support Office including the 国产AVbuilding Commission and the 国产AVbuilding Fund are increasing the impact and results on the ground through cooperation across the UN system and increased cooperation with other main actors – national or international. The PBF plays a key role in supporting coordinated efforts across the humanitarian-development-peace nexus. The Fund is an essential tool in achieving our core policy goal of fostering peace and we are proud to support it. “Our Common Agenda” established that peacebuilding –also through the political convening power of the PBC and the actions and projects of the PBF – is at the centre of the UN’s future role in ensuring peace and stability. We will continue to work in close cooperation with the UN to strengthen its readiness to respond to global challenges to peace and stability.”
