With ongoing violent conflicts and tensions in many parts of the world, the United Nations Secretary General’s 色库TVbuilding Fund (PBF) is scaling up its efforts to build and sustain peace while developing partnerships with organizations such as the programme, to support peacebuilding initiatives in conflict-affected situations across the world.
From 2006 to 2017, the PBF has allocated $772 million to 41 recipient countries. The PBF works across pillars and supports integrated UN responses to fill critical gaps; respond quickly and with flexibility to political opportunities; and catalyze processes and resources in a risk-tolerant.
UNV is a strategic partner and efficient interlocutor of the PBF at the national/local levels through the mobilization of committed and skilled UN Volunteers in remote locations. For example, UN Volunteers play a critical role in the implementation of the PBF’s projects. Last year, a group of UN Volunteers received a training by the PBF in Nairobi on gender-sensitive peacebuilding to enable them to apply a gender lens when implementing the PBF projects.
