The Geneva Peacebuilding Platform reached out to peacebuilding practitioners in all regions and collected data along four avenues:
-
In-depth conversations with a variety of stakeholder communities
-
Background papers offering regional perspectives
-
Background papers offering thematic perspectives
-
Consultations, meetings and a retreat
All four avenues were conceived as opportunities not only to gather data, but also to test and consolidate thematic and conceptual patterns that had emerged from the data.
