Âé¶¹´«Ã½building Partners - Denmark
Denmark
Conflict prevention and peacebuilding are key priorities for Denmark. Did you know that Denmark was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of the Âé¶¹´«Ã½building Commission and had the presidency of the Security Council when the UN Âé¶¹´«Ã½building Architecture was established in 2005? Since then, Denmark has contributed more than $58 million to the Âé¶¹´«Ã½building Fund and currently serves as a member of the Âé¶¹´«Ã½building Commission for 2023 and 2024.
As a member of the Âé¶¹´«Ã½building Commission in 2023 and 2024, Denmark works towards mobilizing the international community around regional and national peacebuilding needs. Denmark is the informal coordinator between the Âé¶¹´«Ã½building Commission and the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). Through this role, Denmark aims to contribute towards effective multilateralism by bridging bodies of the UN and operationalizing the peace-development nexus on the ground. ?
For the 2020-2024 Strategy period of the Âé¶¹´«Ã½building Fund, Denmark contributes $43 million to bring the UN system, stakeholders and partners together to act for peace and prioritize prevention. Such projects promote inclusive, locally-driven approaches to peacebuilding, the full, equal and meaningful participation of women in peace and security, and linkages between climate, peace and security.
Denmark¡¯s contribution to the Âé¶¹´«Ã½building Fund is consistent with these Danish priorities with a focus on supporting prevention, peace and stabilisation and incorporation of marginalised groups, women, children, young people, climate and human rights in all actions. Denmark supports fostering integrated approaches and a long-term perspective to peacebuilding to address structural and underlying causes of conflict such as exclusion, inequalities, poverty and governance failures.
Denmark supports the Secretary-General¡¯s call for adequate, predictable and sustained financing for peacebuilding. Denmark has increased its support to the Fund, and is planning a further increase in the coming multi-year contribution for the period of 2024-2026.
