10th anniversary

The Working Group on Peace and Development (FriEnt) is marking its 10th anniversary in 2011. It’s a good opportunity for us to reflect on past achievements as well as upcoming challenges in the field of peace building and development – and to celebrate one decade of joint learning, networking and cooperation with our member organisations, partners and friends.

During the anniversary period from April 2011 - November 2011, we will be marking the anniversary in various ways, including through events and publications.

One of the highlights of the year will be an essay series on peace and development in eight parts, which will accompany the FriEnt activities in the anniversary peroiod. We have asked eight colleagues to reflect on challenges and perspectives in selected thematic issues.
