Amplifying
Amplifying the voices, expertise, and priorities of local peacebuilders, particularly from conflict-affected and fragile contexts, through global advocacy moments, communications outputs, and strategic participation in international forums remains a key priority for CSPPS. The Platform works to ensure that civil society narratives reflect lived realities and contribute substantively to policy debates.
The Voices of SDG16+ Campaign
The Voices of SDG16+: Stories for Global Action Campaign is a global advocacy initiative that brings civil society perspectives on SDG16+ to the forefront of international policy discussions, particularly at the High-level Political Forum (HLPF) on Sustainable Development. Since 2019, the campaign has invited civil society actors worldwide to share short videos showcasing local efforts, best practices, and lessons learned in advancing peace, justice, and inclusive institutions.
SDG16+ Storytelling Initiative
The SDG16+ Storytelling Initiative is a collaborative platform designed to strengthen civil society’s capacity to use storytelling as a tool for advocacy, communication, and fundraising. Launched in 2025 in partnership with key global networks, the initiative supports organisations in translating their work on peace, justice, and governance into compelling narratives that resonate with policymakers and the broader public.
Peace Corner Podcast
The Peace Corner Podcast, co-organised with UNOY Peacebuilders since 2019, is a youth-driven platform that explores key themes in peacebuilding and conflict prevention through accessible and engaging discussions. Each season focuses on a specific topic, such as the impact of digitalisation on peacebuilding (2024) or the role of youth in peace and security (2025).
Briefing Papers
The Briefing Papers Series translates civil society expertise into concise, policy-oriented analyses on key thematic nexuses related to peacebuilding and conflict prevention. Developed collaboratively with CSPPS members, the series explores interlinkages between peace and related issues, such as gender equality, climate change, migration, health, food security, and digitalisation.
Member Stories
The Member Stories Initiative began in 2024 as a means to reinforce our link, reconnect with our members, and highlight their role in peacebuilding efforts by sharing their personal stories and work. Stories help us understand the multifaceted dimensions of peace and the unquantifiable ways of making change.
Just Future Alliance
The Just Future Alliance (2021–2025) was a global partnership programme that brought together international and local civil society organisations to advance inclusive peace, access to justice, and people-centred security in fragile and conflict-affected contexts. Implemented across multiple countries, the Alliance supported civil society actors in strengthening their advocacy capacities, engaging in policy processes, and holding institutions accountable. A central focus was amplifying the voices of local actors – particularly those from marginalised communities – and ensuring their meaningful participation in decision-making at national and global levels.
