Regional Consultations 2025 in Latin America
The regional consultation for Latin America, co-organised by Interpeace and Grupo Internacional de la Paz, will be hosted in Colombia on May 5. Consultations will focus on reflecting the commitment to allow regional partners to freely design their own consultation methodologies and produce a final document consolidating prioritised challenges, strategies, and recommendations, based on the country based and regionally specific topics discussed.
General Objectives
To contribute recommendations from Latin American (LATAM) peacebuilding CSOs to the 2025 PBAR and ensure more effective peacebuilding down to the regional and country levels through a 2025 PBAR that is rooted in local knowledge and experience.
Specific Objectives
- To propose collaborative working methodologies between UN peacebuilding bodies and CSOs, ensuring the inclusion of victims, refugees, and minorities to enhance their understanding of local contexts and adapt operational mechanisms accordingly.
- To propose a roadmap for institutionalising the CSO sector in PBAR decision-making processes.
- To present proposals aimed at making UN funding mechanisms more flexible, ensuring equitable access for a greater number of CSOs in the region.
- To establish a network of LATAM peacebuilding CSOs that formulates a regional peace agenda aligned with the PBA under a local knowledge approach.
