Conflict Prevention and Peace Forum

"The distinct encounters [CPPF] organizes create opportunities to take a more strategic view of the complex situations in which we work and to consider means by which we might adapt our efforts to implement the mandates with which we have been entrusted."

—Jean-Marie Guéhenno, Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations

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.
