As part of the Geneva Peace Week 2023 Digital Series, UNDP produced a podcast showcasing perspectives and conclusions from fresh research on the role of multi-level governance in sustaining peace in fragile and conflict-affected settings, bringing together selected experts in the field.

The discussion emphasized definitions, demands and tools for strengthening multi-level governance in fragile and conflict-affected settings. In line with the overall theme, this addresses challenges at different levels of governance from the global to the local. The podcast highlights the potential of multi-level governance to strengthen people-centered recovery that addresses grievances, including those at the heart of conflict. The purpose is to demonstrate approaches and tools that hold potential to enhance legitimacy and trust in State-society relations, ultimately contributing to peacebuilding and increased stability.

Listeners are encouraged to reflect on and respond to questions arising from the podcast and engage in a discussion with other listeners. Please share your thoughts, ideas and questions!

Some questions you might want to reflect on are:

  • What are your suggestions for making multi-level governance more effective?
  • Do you have any examples where multi-level governance contributed to crisis management, peacebuilding and recovery?
  • How do governance institutions at different levels collaborate with each other in your country?

We'd love to hear about your own experiences. How do governance institutions at different levels collaborate with each other in your country? And what does that mean for the general public and the people?
