On April 24th and 25th 2019, Conducive Space for Peace, in collaboration with Humanity United, hosted a two-day meeting in New York. The meeting brought together 35 thought and practice leaders from local and international peacebuilding organisations, UN agencies, universities and think tanks to share experiences on how to transform the international system of support to peacebuilding, and especially how to strengthen the space for local agency and power in peacebuilding. This report is produced on the basis of reflections shared by the participants prior to the meeting, notes taken during sessions and group work, flipcharts and visual materials produced during the meeting as well as responses to the online evaluation conducted after the meeting. We have done our best to let the text reflect the insights and opinions expressed during the meeting as directly as possible.
