What is the International Dialogue? This short film, which was premiered during the Fourth High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan, provides an introduction to our work.
What is the Dialogue?
The International Dialogue on Peacebuilding and Statebuilding was established in 2008 in Accra, in response to the need for a better and more focused effort to address the challenges of conflict and fragility.
It is the first forum to bring together countries affected by conflict and fragility and their international partners to identify, agree and realise more effective ways of supporting transitions out of fragility and building peaceful states.
The International Dialogue is based on the principles that successful transitions in conflict-affected and fragile countries require national ownership and leadership, strong international support and partnership.
The Dialogue engages multiple stakeholders in an open and frank exchange with the aim of improving peacebuilding and statebuilding efforts in fragile and conflict-affected situations.
The Dialogue provides a platform for participants to:
share peacebuilding and statebuilding experiences
gather and discuss good practices and constraints to delivering effective international assistance in support of peacebuilding and statebuilding
identify a realistic set of objectives for peacebuilding and statebuilding that could guide national and international partners
build trust between participating countries and organisations
There are currently 40 development partners, international organisations and governments experiencing conflict and/or fragility participating in the Dialogue. Find out more about participants
The Netherlands and Timor-Leste currently co-chair the Dialogue with the support of a Steering Group. The OECD provides the Secretariat for the process.
