Thank you to Members of the European Parliament for a rich exchange. I welcomed the chance to discuss how the UN and EU can deepen cooperation on conflict prevention, peacebuilding and support to countries affected by conflict and fragility.

Many of the places facing the most fragility and conflict are also among the poorest in the world. Next week I am at the @WorldBank #FragilityForum with partners across governments, development banks and the UN to change that. Watch my message and join us, 8 to 10 June.

Today at the @EP_ForeignAff Committee, we had an exchange of views on the EU-UN partnership for peacebuilding in the face of global instability 🇪🇺🇺🇳. Multilateralism and investing in peacebuilding are clearly a smart business model in times of growing rivalries. 1/2

In a joint project along the Sierra Leone-Ginea border, @WFP, @UNmigration, and Talking Drum Studio are helping reduce conflicts between farmers and herders. 🌱 #PBF is proud to support their efforts. We are sharing and discussing preliminary findings from our ongoing impact evaluation with communities who participated in the project and contributed to the research. This work has been made possible thanks to generous support from the Governments of @GermanyUN and @CanadaUN. #InvestInPeace

With our partners at @3ieNews, ISDC, and @AnalyticsMeraki, we are conducting a “Data Return” mission in 🇸🇱 and 🇬🇳 aimed to "close the loop" and ensure that communities remain central to the generation and use of knowledge, and that we remain informed by local voices and realities as we learn what works in #peacebuilding and why. 🔎

Strengthening uniformed women’s participation in UN peace operations fundamental to delivering effective and credible operations. Last week, Mr. Robert Pulver, Chief of the PBPSO Justice and Corrections Service, joined an online discussion with more than 200 peacekeepers from across missions, convened by the Network for Uniformed Women Peacekeepers, together with leadership from the Office of Military Affairs and @UNPOL. The exchange provided a valuable platform to hear directly from uniformed women experts deployed to the field and reflect on how we can collectively advance women’s full, equal and meaningful participation. Several priorities stood out clearly: ✅Operational effectiveness depends on diverse teams working together; ✅Women must have access to the full range of roles, including leadership and operational positions; ✅Gender parity must be embedded in workforce planning; ✅Both mission leadership and Member States have a critical role to play in enabling women’s participation across the system. What resonated most was the importance of listening to field perspectives and translating them into concrete action. Initiatives such as the Network for Uniformed Women Peacekeepers remain essential. Uniformed women peacekeepers are strongly encouraged to join the Network and actively engage: elsiefund.org/wp-content/upl… #InvestInPeace #WomenPeaceSecurity #WomenInPeacekeeping @UNPeacekeeping
