Conflict Prevention and Peace Forum (CPPF)
Mobilizing necessary knowledge to support UN capacity for conflict prevention, peacemaking and peacebuildingOverview
The Conflict Prevention and Peace Forum (CPPF) was established in October 2000 to strengthen the knowledge base and analytical capacity of the United Nations in conflict prevention and management, peacemaking, and peacebuilding. We support UN policymaking and operations by providing UN decision-makers rapid access to leading scholars, experts, and practitioners outside the UN system through informal consultations, off the record briefings, and commissioned research. CPPF has immediate access to senior UN decision-makers, first-hand experience with UN policy and operational planning, and an extensive network of experts who complement our staff’s expertise. CPPF benefits from an advisory board of highly respected practitioners, policymakers, and academics.
