UNA-UK and partners host UK launch of NGO report assessing the Peacebuilding Commission's first year

On Tuesday, 10 July 2007, UNA-UK co-hosted a seminar at the Foreign Press Association in London, to present findings from three major NGOs on the UN Peacebuilding Commission's (PBC) first year and its pilot interventions in Sierra Leone and Burundi.

The event served as the UK launch of a major research report by ActionAid, CAFOD and CARE International UK, entitled ‘Consolidating the peace? Views from Sierra Leone and Burundi on the United Nations Peacebuilding Commission’.
