This policy statement from the International Dialogue on Peacebuilding and Statebuilding (IDPS) presents a renewed vision for responding to the growing challenges of conflict, fragility, and inequality worldwide. It calls for stronger, more inclusive partnerships between governments, civil society, and development partners, and urges increased investment in peacebuilding, conflict prevention, and long-term solutions. The statement outlines seven key objectives aimed at shaping a more effective and united approach to building peace and supporting lasting development.

Coastal West Africa is grappling with escalating threats to peace and stability, as conflicts from the Sahel region spill over and violent extremist groups have gain traction. In response, the International Dialogue on Peacebuilding and Statebuilding (IDPS) convened a Regional Dialogue on Prevention, Peacebuilding, and Resilience in Coastal West Africa, supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in its capacity as Secretariat and through the generous financial support of the Government of Canada.
