Geneva Peacebuilding Platform - Geneva Peace Week

The Geneva Peacebuilding Platform Foundation is a knowledge hub that connects the critical mass of peacebuilding actors, resources, and expertise in Geneva and worldwide. Founded in 2008, the Platform has a mandate to facilitate interaction on peacebuilding between different institutions and sectors and to advance new knowledge and understanding of issues and contexts related to building peace. It also plays a creative role in building bridges between International Geneva, the United Nations peacebuilding architecture in New York, and peacebuilding activities in the field. As of July 2024, to perpetuate this initiative, the GPP became a Foundation, to provide a platform to facilitate interaction on peacebuilding and peacekeeping between different sectors and institutions. The Platform's network comprises more than 4'000 peacebuilding professionals working on building peace directly or indirectly. The Platform ensures the continuous exchange of information through seminars, consultations, and conferences, and facilitates outcome-oriented dialogues on peacebuilding practice.
