Civil Society Dialogue Network

 

 

The Civil Society Dialogue Network (CSDN) is a three-year project funded by the European Commission aimed at facilitating dialogue on peacebuilding issues between civil society and the EU institutions.

The CSDN will contribute to strengthening international and regional capacity for conflict prevention and post-conflict co-operation. EPLO will organise CSDN meetings which will be open to all interested civil society actors and will take place in Brussels, EU Member States and conflict-affected countries with EU presence.

The CSDN will discuss policy, strategic and programming aspects of the Peacebuilding Partnership, transversal thematic issues relating to peacebuilding and crisis-specific situations. CSDN meetings will fall into the following six categories:

  1. Policy (Thematic)
  2. Geographic
  3. Funding Instruments
  4. Member State
  5. In-country Dialogue
  6. Crisis Response

 

The project also foresees the organisation of a series of training seminars for civil society on peacebuilding and EU policy and practice.

 

EPLO will produce background material, including briefing papers, reports, and policy papers. Updates on the CSDN will also be disseminated via the Conflict Prevention Newsletter.
