Project

Peace & Development in the South Caucasus

Summary

Hosted by UNDP Georgia, the sub-regional Peace & Development Programme supports the three UN Country Teams in the South Caucasus to integrate crisis preparedness and peacebuilding into their programmes. 

By facilitating dialogue, building capacity, and championing sub-regional initiatives, the programme strengthens the foundations for sustainable peace and resilience in Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia.

The programme team comprises the Regional Peace & Development Advisor (RPDA) and National Peace & Development Advisors (PDAs) in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. Together, they support the UN Country Teams (UNCTs) through political analysis, crisis preparedness, and peacebuilding programming.

Key Activities

  • Promoting Regional Collaboration: Strengthening cooperation among UN Country Teams in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia to enhance crisis preparedness and implement peacebuilding initiatives.
  • Providing Informed Political Analysis: Offering strategic insights on political and conflict-related issues to guide the Resident Coordinators and UN Country Teams in their positioning and decision-making.
  • Building Crisis Response Capacity: Streamlining UNDP and inter-agency response plans while enhancing the skills and capacities of UN staff to address conflict-related crisis scenarios effectively.
  • Fostering Sub-Regional Initiatives: Identifying opportunities for collaborative projects across the South Caucasus, engaging civil society networks in dialogue, and mobilizing support from international partners and donors for innovative peace and development initiatives.
