We are beginning to imagine what peace work might look like by 2035. What do we need to do differently now to realise different outcomes? Connect to the RESPACE conversations at the Geneva Peace Week and several other spaces. #sustainablepeace

This report was possible, like peacebuilding itself, through multitude of government, UN and non-UN actors coming together to learn about our collective impact. We work best when we work together. - Bushra Hassan, Senior Monitoring and Evaluation Adviser PBSO Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eVG5qXvJ

PeaceCon 2024, Post I: Two weeks ago, I was fortunate to attend PeaceCon 2024 facilitated by the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) and the Alliance for Peacebuilding (AfP). The three-day conference provided many and engaging plenary sessions and workshops about peacebuilding across the globe. I am very grateful to both USIP and AfP for allowing digital attendance (Thank you George Moose and Liz Hume). In several posts, I would like to highlight several of the sessions I attended. (1) Writing a New Story for the Middle East: New Story Leadership brought Palestinians and Israeli's together for cross-cultural conversation. Using AI, the attendees created a plan for rebuilding Gaza and establishing two-states for Israel and Palestinians called the Phoenix Plan (I will post separately about it). Personal testimonies from an Israeli and a Palestinian were life-changing for yours truly. Thanks to New Story Leadership for the Middle East Caroline R. Mays Tarek Maassarani Eran Nissan and Rawan Odeh (to be continued Post II). This is an incredible blending of technology to serve peacekeeping, based on New Story Leadership's mission to foster dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians.

See below my blog on starvation crimes in Sudan and Gaza. Based on my contribution to a roundtable following the first IHSA lecture, in May this year, and sadly even more relevant today
