The Peacebuilding Portal is the Information Communication Technology (ICT) component of the Conflict Management Capacity-Building Project. It aims to promote collaboration and consultation among organizations and individuals working in conflict prevention and peacebuilding.

The Peacebuilding Portal is implemented by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs and funded by the United Nations Development Programme’s Regional Bureau of Africa.

Objectives

The major objectives of the Portal are:

• to fill the need for information dissemination and network creation among the peacebuilding community,
• to build this community's capacity to respond and mitigate conflict, and
• to proactively use Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) to strengthen these NGO's linkages among themselves and with national, regional, and international stakeholders.

The Peacebuilding Portal provides a practical way to connect with local, national and international organizations dealing with conflict management and peacebuilding; locate specific data on related projects and programmes that are implemented by the NGO’s in a country or geographical region; and identify NGO’s and experts working on particular themes within conflict management and peacebuilding.

The Portal is managed by Gay Rosenblum-Kumar
