The FriEnt Peacebuilding Forum 2024 welcomed more than 150 local, national, and global state and civil society actors as well as policymakers. Amongst them were national and international government institutions, parliamentarians, civil society organisations as well as international partner networks of the FriEnt member organisations. Together, we wanted to reaffirm the peacebuilding communities’ claim to influence policy debates and strengthen peacebuilding narratives. The conference provided networking opportunities in an inclusive environment that brought together peacebuilders from state actors and civil society from different parts of the world.

The Working Group on Peace and Development (FriEnt) is an association of governmental organisations, church development agencies, civil society networks, and political foundations.
