Delighted to attend the @UNPeacebuilding Fund Strategic Dialogue hosted by @NorwayMFA this week. Following on from IE hosting the Dialogue in '23, we discussed key issues such as conflict prevention, supporting UN transitions and how to engage in politically constrained contexts.

Thank you to @EU2024BE for hosting the EU Taskforce on WPS last week. Great to hear from the EU and MS about ongoing work to counter the backlash against women’s rights globally, as well as insights from @ISS_Research and @UN_Women on the Sahel. Vital to keep up this momentum

Pleasure to host @cliona_raleigh last week for a Global Policy Series talk about the ACLED project and trends in global conflict. Interesting insights on conflict as a feature of modern governance and political contestation, rather than an aberration, in many contexts. @ACLEDINFO

It's Day 2 at the @SIPRIorg #SthlmForum. The panel asks if our conflict prevention system is broken, and if so, what will replace it?
We need to work at multiple levels and with a broad range of stakeholders. There's no easy route to peace agreements.
