Kosovar Center for Security Studies (KCSS) is one of the over fifty peacebuilding and development organizations, which endorsed the paper. The paper sets forth ten key recommendations for how to most effectively integrate peacebuilding and violence prevention into the post-Millennium Development Goals.
This paper was made public on Monday, September 24, in New York, at a meeting titled, “Mainstreaming Peacebuilding and Prevention in the Post-2015 Development Agenda.” Representatives of the CSO Core Group from Liberia, Togo and South Sudan laid out the central challenges of conflict sensitive development in their own countries, followed by responses from members of the g7+ secretariat, and key United Nations and USAID staff.
