Launch of the Peacebuilding Impact Hub
19?December 2023
On 8 December, the Peacebuilding Support Office (PBSO) of the Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs (DPPA), in collaboration with the Permanent Missions of Canada, Costa Rica, Germany, and South Sudan to the United Nations, launched the Peacebuilding Impact Hub. Elizabeth Spehar, Assistant Secretary-General for Peacebuilding Support, underscored the need - in addition to the moral and political - for empirical arguments in favor of investing in prevention and peacebuilding. This constitutes a fundamental aspect of the Peacebuilding Impact Hub's mission. During the panel discussion, participants emphasized the crucial role of impact data.
The Peacebuilding Impact Hub will share knowledge from peacebuilders and partners; derive valuable insights and data-driven solutions; create space for learning; and demonstrate impact and the cost savings of prevention. The Peacebuilding Impact Hub is a collaborative initiative to bring together the UN, governments, think tanks, academia, and civil society peacebuilders.
