March 2023 will mark the fifth anniversary of the publication of the UN-World Bank report “Pathways for Peace: Inclusive Approaches to Preventing Violent Conflict.” The report urged a pivot to prevention, strengthened the business case for prevention initiatives, and highlighted new research on the importance of inclusion in efforts to prevent conflict and build peace. Five years later, the global landscape has changed significantly and is now grappling with a complex set of converging crises and cascading risks. Against this backdrop, it is timely to reflect on the continued relevance of the findings of the Pathways for Peace report, and the contribution it has made to how the peace and development community understands and supports peace and peacebuilding in conflict- and crisis-affected states and regions.

The consultation will reflect on the legacy and contribution of the Pathways for Peace report, and ask if our concepts and theories of change for inclusion and prevention are still relevant for our fast-changing conflict landscape?
