Presentation on Interagency Framework Team for Preventive Action
Background: The UN Interagency Framework for Coordination on Preventive Action (the Framework Team or FT) is an internal UN support system that promotes interagency collaboration on early preventive action and assists Resident Coordinators and UN Country Teams to proactively work with national partners to strengthen their capacities to mediate and manage potentially divisive issues. Operational since 1995, the FT is currently composed by 22 UN departments, agencies, funds and programmes that work together to support the development of interagency conflict prevention initiatives. The FT facilitates the UN Conflict Prevention Community of Practice to support conflict transformation and peacebuilding practitioners within the UN and develops thematic knowledge products and guidance materials to enhance sustainable conflict transformation programmes around the world. Currently, the FT is leading two interagency initiatives to deepen understanding and practice on natural resources and conflict prevention and to catalyze system-wide strengthening of conflict-sensitive practice, programming and policy.
