Guidelines of the Programme.? ? ? ?

• 1. The present Programme of Work is prepared pursuant to the recommendation of the annex to the annual report of the Peacebuilding Commission, which asks the Commission to adopt an annual workplan based on the forward-looking agenda contained in the Commission’s annual report and reflecting the Commission’s country-specific, regional, and thematic priorities. It aims to ensure effective implementation of the Commission’s mandate as articulated in A/RES/60/180 and S/RES/1645 (2005); A/RES/70/262 and S/RES/2282 (2016); as well as A/RES/75/201 and S/RES/2558 (2020). It also follows the second ambassadorial-level meeting of the 19th session of the Commission held on 19 February 2025, in which representatives of Member States on and of standing invitees to the Commission, as well as representatives of countries and regions considered by the Commission and of countries currently receiving funding from the PBF, presented their priorities for 2025.
• 2. In 2025, the Commission will build on good practices and lessons learned in carrying forward its activities. Its work will be guided primarily by the mandate as reflected in the twin resolutions, taking into account feedback and requests from the countries and regions that seek the Commission’s support.?
• 3. Recognizing that peacebuilding is an inherently political process aimed at preventing the outbreak, escalation, recurrence or continuation of conflict, and further recognizing that peacebuilding encompasses a wide range of political, development, and human rights programmes and mechanisms, the Commission will adopt a demand-driven approach, which in accordance with its mandate and based upon national ownership, requires continuing consultations with the countries and regions that consider sharing their peacebuilding experiences.
• 4. The Commission will also continue to explore opportunities to strengthen its visibility and showcase its work, as appropriate, and its functions in accordance with its mandate, including in the context of discussions related to the Review of the Peacebuilding?Architecture in 2025 and to the implementation of the relevant provisions of the Pact for the Future. The Commission notes that this Review will be the fourth, marking the 20th anniversary of the Peacebuilding Architecture. The Commission appreciates the important work undertaken since the inception of the Architecture and intends, in this regard, to organize a commemorative event. In light of the anniversaries of Security Council resolutions 1325 and 2250, the Commission will take stock, through a fact-based approach, of the implementation, influence, and impact of the PBC Gender Strategy Action Plan and Strategic Action Plan on Youth and Peacebuilding, and will continue to advance their implementation. To further reinforce its work, the Commission will hold working methods meetings, as outlined in the Annex of its annual report, to consider action areas of which the implementation can contribute to the efficiency and effectiveness of the Commission.

Focus on broadening geographical scope of work.?

• 5. Consultations, with the consent of countries concerned, are ongoing for the continuation of engagements on at least 13 different countries in 2025, including the Central African Republic, Chad, Colombia, The Gambia, Guatemala, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mauritania, Norway, Papua New Guinea, S?o Tomé and Príncipe, South Sudan and Timor-Leste. The focus will range from mobilizing political, financial and technical support for context specific and nationally owned peacebuilding priorities and projects, to sharing experiences and lessons learned from peacebuilding trajectories. Consultations are also ongoing in follow-up to past and new commitments in support of regional peacebuilding activities, including, amongst others, in the Great Lakes region, Gulf of Guinea, Lake Chad Basin, and the Sahel.
• All the above and other possible engagements will take into account and contribute to the following principles and commitments as defined in the twin resolutions pertaining to the?mandate of the PBC:?

?

Focus on national ownership and inclusivity.?

• 6. In pursuing country, regional and cross-cutting engagements in accordance with its mandate and based upon national ownership, the Commission will place strong emphasis on delivering results and meeting the needs of the countries that seek its support, with continuous focus on results and impact. Peacebuilding challenges risk reversing gains that the Commission has been supporting in countries and regions under its consideration. The situation calls for recalibrated action and more effective support to peacebuilding and sustaining peace in countries and regions that engage with the Commission. Guided by action-oriented analysis, the Commission will ensure active engagement of all its members in support of countries under its consideration.?
• 7. The Commission will continue to support inclusive approaches in countries and regions under its consideration in support of national peacebuilding initiatives and peace processes at the request of concerned governments and in line with national ownership, including by offering its platform to civil society and private sector representatives and by strengthening women and youth participation from different contexts, to share their experiences. It will also build cooperative relationships with academic and scientific communities to receive verifiable research, data and information relevant to its mandate.?
• 8. The Commission will continue to support States, upon their request, in the preparation and implementation of their national prevention strategies and approaches to sustain peace and addressing the root causes of conflict in their countries. The Commission will, upon request, support countries considering to develop them, in full conformity with national ownership, leadership, and needs, and provide a platform for countries to share such strategies and approaches on a voluntary basis to exchange good practices and lessons learned.?

?

Attention to United Nations coherence and follow-up.

• 9. The Commission will continue to promote integrated, strategic and coherent approaches to peacebuilding and sustaining peace in countries and regions under its consideration, noting that peace and security, development, and human rights are closely interlinked and mutually reinforcing. The Commission, in line with its mandate, will continue to bring all relevant parts of the United Nations system together, including agencies, funds and programmes, with a focus on its representatives in the field, who are leading United Nations efforts to support national peacebuilding priorities, address conflict risks and enhance the capacity of national institutions. They will be invited to provide follow-up and assess impact on the ground of the recommendations and action points provided by the Commission. The Commission will also engage with Resident Coordinators, who are coordinating the UN’s efforts to support countries to implement the 2030 Agenda.
• 10.?The Commission will remain seized of the discussions and recommendations pertaining to General Assembly resolutions 76/305, 78/257 and 79/262, and continue to place emphasis on synergy with the Peacebuilding Fund (PBF). It will further continue to engage on a regular basis with the Peacebuilding Support Office within the Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs (DPPA/PBSO), the PBF Advisory Group and the countries that receive PBF support to ensure that it is informed of the activities of the Fund and is able to provide political accompaniment, when requested. The Commission will facilitate an interactive strategic dialogue with the PBF in accordance with the updated terms of reference A/79/541 and in line with the above-mentioned GA resolutions.
• 11. The Commission will leverage positive footprints of peacekeepers, where peacekeeping missions exist in countries on the Commission’s agenda, and support the implementation of peacebuilding efforts, including during transition processes and after the withdrawal of peacekeeping missions, as appropriate. The Commission will explore opportunities to strengthen synergies between peacekeeping missions and relevant United Nations entities engaging in peacebuilding activities, especially during transition phases.?
• 12. Any engagement of the Commission in the 2025 Peacebuilding Architecture Review (PBAR) shall be in accordance with the Terms of Reference of the PBAR.?

?

Effective partnerships.

• 13. In consultation with countries and regions under its consideration, the Commission will pursue more effective partnerships with regional and subregional organizations with a focus on coherent support to conflict-affected countries and regions, based on shared analysis. In doing so, it will also build on suggestions made during past consultative meetings with the African Union Peace and Security Council (AUPSC). The Commission will organize the Eighth (8th) annual Consultative meeting with the African Union Peace and Security Council and promote cooperation with other regional and sub-regional organizations, as appropriate.?
• 14.?By fostering closer cooperation with all relevant states, local, regional and global organizations, the Commission should ensure a more efficient and coherent approach to peacebuilding. The Commission will also seek to foster closer partnerships with civil?society organizations from countries and regions under its consideration, including those at the grassroots level in order to support their participation in peacebuilding and in meetings of the Commission, including their role in the implementation of the targets of the PBC Gender Strategy Action Plan and Strategic Action Plan on Youth and Peacebuilding.?
• 15.?The Commission will continue to pursue opportunities for stronger engagement with international financial institutions (IFIs) and regional financial institutions, including multilateral development banks (MDBs), to address the peacebuilding needs of countries?and regions under its consideration. This effort should be further streamlined by the Commission’s visits to their headquarters and regular engagement of IFIs and regional financial institutions, including MDBs, in the Commission’s discussions. The Commission?will continue to support a strengthened UN-World Bank partnership, including by building on successful initiatives supported by the UN, such as the UN Humanitarian-Development Peacebuilding and Partnership facility (UN-IFI Partnership Facility). The Commission will also consider stronger engagement with the private sector, as appropriate, to support peacebuilding initiatives and explore innovative ways of financing for peacebuilding.?
• 16. The Commission will continue to offer its platform for the promotion of South-South and Triangular cooperation in support of peacebuilding and sustaining peace.

?

Advocacy for peacebuilding financing.

• 17.?The Commission will continue to advocate for adequate, predictable and sustained financing for peacebuilding through voluntary, innovative and assessed contributions. The Commission will also continue to fully implement General Assembly resolutions 76/305 and 78/257 and 79/262.
• 18.?The Commission will continue to explore innovative approaches to peacebuilding financing and will continue to strengthen the engagement with international and regional finance institutions and the private sector, recognizing the potential of public-private partnerships to further peacebuilding and sustaining peace activities.?
• 19.?The Commission will also explore ways to encourage flexible funding for local peacebuilding organizations, including those led by women and youth and continue developing approaches to foster innovative financing for peacebuilding. It recognizes the need to enhance financing to ensure the full, equal and meaningful participation of women and involvement of youth in peacebuilding. Finally, the work of the Commission would benefit from improved awareness of the PBF’s investments.?

?

Enhanced advisory, bridging and convening role.

• 20. The Commission will continue to improve the quality and timeliness of its submissions and briefings to principal organs and relevant United Nations entities and peacebuilding fora, providing them with broad peacebuilding perspectives, anchored in substantive and diverse engagements, including to the General Assembly, Security Council and ECOSOC as mandated. The appointment of informal coordinators will facilitate this effort, including by better aligning the Commission’s programme of work to those of the General Assembly and the Security Council as appropriate, and strengthening the Commission’s bridging role with ECOSOC. In relation to its bridging role, the Commission will continue to foster greater coherence in the United Nations system, including between the General Assembly, the Security Council and ECOSOC, and within and across the UN Secretariat, UN peacekeeping operations, special political missions and UN agencies, funds, and programmes. While pursuing this goal, the Commission should also explore innovative formats of work which would enable more outreach and interaction, ensuring that its working methods are most effective, sharing of good practices whilst providing timely advice to the Security Council, upon its request ahead of the renewal or expiration of the missions’ mandates.?
• 21. In resolution A/RES/75/327 the General Assembly acknowledged the importance of the Commission’s advice on “causes of conflict and the promotion of durable peace and sustainable development in Africa”. As encouraged in the said resolution, the Commission will maintain this practice.?
• 22. The Commission will convene informal interactive dialogues with the Security Council, and will submit advice at its request, as appropriate, for consideration. The Commission will also take action in response to S/RES/2594 (2021) in which the Security Council?strongly encourages the Commission to facilitate the development of joint objectives and priorities prior to transitions.?
• 23. The Commission will convene joint events with the Economic and Social Council and will further enhance informal cooperation with the Council, its advisory bodies and the Executive Boards of the Agencies, Funds and Programmes, in accordance with its mandate, in the areas of peacebuilding and sustaining peace.?
• 24. Moreover, the Commission will continue to leverage its convening role to provide an effective and diverse platform to bring together governments, UN entities, partners and other stakeholders related to peacebuilding on country-specific, regional, or thematic issues.

?

Emphasis on accountability.

• 25. The Commission will keep track of its results and good practices and improve the outward communication of these results. The Commission welcomes the compilation by DPPA/PBSO of factual and verified analysis in PBC annual reports and encourages the?continuation of this practice. The Commission will ensure attention to the peacebuilding impact of its work. It will also seek to make greater use of academic and scientific communities to assess the impact of peacebuilding, determine how to improve?peacebuilding in support of positive outcomes, and enhance the quality of advice for the UN Security Council, the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council.
• 26. During and after the meetings of the Commission, it will seek to highlight recommendations agreed to by Member States for the way forward and areas for follow-up to the discussions in order to further strengthen its effectiveness.?
• 27. In its meetings, where appropriate, the Commission will continue to mainstream the Women, Peace and Security agenda and the Youth, Peace and Security agenda, including through the implementation of the Commission’s Gender Strategy (2016), Gender Action Plan (2021) and Strategic Action Plan on youth and peacebuilding. The Commission also requests DPPA/PBSO to continue bringing to its attention annual updates on the implementation of its gender strategy and action plan, and its action plan on youth and peacebuilding.?
• 28. Finally, in implementing the 2025 Programme of Work, the Chair of the Peacebuilding Commission, the Vice-Chairs and the Chairs of country-specific configurations will meet regularly to share updates and discuss challenges that require collective action regarding the respective configurations, with a view to further strengthening coherence in the Peacebuilding Commission.? ?
