The International Dialogue on Peacebuilding and Statebuilding is the first forum for political dialogue to bring together countries affected by conflict and fragility, development partners, and civil society. The International Dialogue is composed of members of the International Network on Conflict and Fragility (INCAF), the g7+ group of fragile and conflict-affected states, and the Civil Society Platform for Peacebuilding and Statebuilding (CSPPS). The International Dialogue is presently co-chaired by the Sierra Leonean Minister of Planning and Economic Development, H.E. Nabeela F. Tunis, and the Canadian Minister of International Development and Minister for Women and Gender Equality, H.E. Maryam Monsef.
The New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States is a key agreement between fragile and conflict affected states, international development partners and civil society to improve current development policy and practice in fragile states. Countries committed themselves to pursuing more political ways of working to address the root causes of conflict and fragility and to channelling investments in fragile states in line with basic but adapted aid effectiveness principles. The New Deal calls for five Peacebuilding and Statebuilding Goals (PSGs) to be at the forefront of all international efforts in fragile and conflict-affected countries. It was crafted by the International Dialogue and signed by more than 40 countries and organizations at the 4th High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness on November 30th 2011 in Busan, Korea.

Realisation of the SDGs in Countries Affected by Conflict and Fragility: the Role of the New DealThis Conceptual Note is intended for national actors and their international partners operating in countries affected by fragility and conflict. Its purpose is to support their efforts to realise the 2030 Agenda, including but not limited to SDG 16, using the principles of the New Deal. This can be achieved by: 1) Supporting country-owned transitions towards resilience through prioritisation and sequencing of the SDGs in ways that take account of conflict and fragility; 2) maximising the possibility for greater coherence and accountability between country-led planning, stakeholder consultation processes, and partner support; and 3) working to ensure results are sustainable. |

The Stockholm Declaration on Addressing Fragility and Building Peace in a Changing WorldThe Stockholm Declaration is the International Dialogue’s latest affirmation of its commitment to creating clear pathways out of fragility and towards greater resilience, as a means of preventing conflict and achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, ensuring that no-one is left behind. Recognising the urgency of the challenges posed by fragility, conflict, and violence, over 50 countries and organisations endorsed the Stockholm Declaration on 5 April 2016 in Stockholm, Sweden, during the 5th Global Meeting of the International Dialogue. |
