Peace Building Project Phase II

The Peace Building Fund project supports sustaining peace in Solomon Islands during a critical  period after the withdrawal of the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI) in June 2017.  The Peace Building Fund is promoting peaceful and safe communities during the first election cycle in the post-RAMSI period through inclusive implementation of solutions addressing impediments to peace and development. 

Building on the achievements made through the initial support from the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund (UNPBF), the project builds consensus and facilitates initiatives to address key peacebuilding challenges including reparation and reconciliation; land disputes; good governance, social cohesion, in an inclusive manner, taking into account the voices of women and youth together with men. The Project will also help establish and institutionalize structures at the provincial level to help address key peacebuilding challenges.

The project is jointly implemented by the UNDP and UN Women with support from the UNPBF.
