- Relates to a positive influence on a peace process effected by a member of a marginalised group
- Represents a breakthrough in the engagement of a “no-go” or hard to reach population
GOAL 4. PEOPLE CENTRED POLICY - INTERNATIONAL PEACEBUILDING SUPPORT PUTS PEOPLE FIRST
Tag you Outcome to this Peace Goal if it:
- Relates to international institutions and governments prioritising the prevention of violent conflict through peaceful means
- Relates to international institutions and governments seeking and responding to peacebuilding perspectives/needs and/or adopting locally-led/participatory approaches to understanding and responding to conflict.
- Involves international networks, academics and policy-makers and practitioners drawing on peacebuilding evidence for policy impact
- Improves good peacebuilding “donorship” - longer term, sustainable, flexible approaches to funding and project management
- Reduces international legal and regulatory obstacles to peacebuilding
Note: The focus of Peace Goal 4 is international policy/actors. This includes multilateral organisations (e.g. UN), peacebuilding networks and bilateral donor institutions. It may also include actors which are external to a context in which CR works, but influential in that context e.g. third countries, regional organisations, regional powers, peacekeeping missions, INGOs etc. It usually does not include the national government in the context, which is likely to be an internal actor to the conflict system and covered by Peace Goals 1, 2, and 3.
