What Can the Peacebuilding Commission Do to Support National Prevention Strategies?
This report explores what the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) can offer that is of added value for member states to strengthen their national prevention strategies.
Promoting and Defending Multilateralism
Multilateral Solutions for Fragility, Conflict, and Violence
Fragility, conflict, and violence (FCV) threaten the stability of entire regions, undermining development, peace, and security. Many countries facing FCV are also burdened with high debt and weak governance structures, making them particularly vulnerable to economic and social crises. The multilateral community must find ways to provide sustainable support to these countries and prevent further destabilization.
By bringing together research on financing, governance, and multilateral reform, CIC aims to promote a comprehensive approach to stability and development in fragile settings.
Key Initiatives
- Providing policy recommendations for effective multilateral action including by the UN, IFIs and regional MDBs in fragile, conflict, and violence contexts.
- Engaging with IFIs, regional MDBs and other financing organizations to advance discussions and policy recommendations on financing for prevention and peacebuilding in light of the ongoing Peacebuilding Architecture Review (PBAR) process.
- Organizing events and providing thought leadership on how donors can engage in politically estranged situations and support countries transitioning out of conflict.
- Collaborating with global partners to ensure that the global response to FCV includes effective strategies for peacebuilding, justice and security sector reform, and socio-economic resilience.

The Number of Countries with Coups d’etats and Other Constitutional Changes in Government is Rising: How should donors stay engaged?
This analysis focuses on two major areas, based on our recently-published report with Chatham House on the "forgotten crises" for the populations of countries living under coups d’etats, other constitutional lapses and abuses leading to sanctions. These areas are: (1) why should donors care in this current moment, and (2) what has been new in our thinking about the major challenges and solutions for how to work in these contexts?

Aid Strategies in ‘Politically Estranged’ Settings: How donors can stay and deliver in fragile and conflict-affected states
NYU Center on International Cooperation and Chatham House publish a new study, which draws together diverse experiences of situations where relations between donors and national authorities are estranged, as well as examples from other relevant fragile settings, to show how donors and multilateral organizations can design and deliver some forms of development assistance to meet urgent needs, prevent further social and economic disruption and increase resilience, without legitimizing unlawful regimes or fueling further conflict, human rights abuses or large-scale corruption.
