On Tuesday, September 26th, the Alliance for Peacebuilding (AfP) and the Institute for Economics and Peace held an event following International Day of Peace exploring how to reframe peacebuilding in a way that advances its integration with other sectoral efforts and promotes more effective policies and programs. The event showcased several local civil society organizations and their innovative approaches to address drivers of violent conflict and build sustainable peace across sectors. A follow-on panel discussion then surfaced challenges and opportunities to support integrative efforts, as well as collect and leverage data to tell the story of peacebuilding.
