INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS AT THE HEART OF THE PEACE FORUM

About a hundred of creative governance projects from around the world to be showcased at the

The Paris Peace Forum continues to demonstrate that in a deteriorated international environment it is still possible to advance governance solutions and launch new initiatives to tackle the global challenges of our world. But it will require entrepreneurial ideas and contributions from all actors – including states, international organization, and civil society – if we are going to succeed.

A universal Call for Projects In response to its annual Call for Projects, the Paris Peace Forum received more than 700 applications from project leaders in 115 countries seeking to expand their impact by participating in the 2019 Forum event. The one hundred projects chosen by the Selection Committee reflect a truly global perspective, representing all regions of the world. This year, nearly half (48%) are already implementing their projects across several continents or globally. Others are predominantly concentrated in (12%), Asia (11%), Central and Latin America (10%), and the Middle East (7%).

A diversity of actors A diversity of actors. Multi-stakeholder solutions are the key to addressing today’s complex global challenges. Crafting solutions together is the only path forward. The selected projects are led by several types of organizations, in particular states (8 projects), international organizations (17 projects), NGOs (34 projects), foundations (4 projects), and think tanks (6 projects) – reflecting some of the many actors that are actively working to make change happen.

Solutions to go beyond rhetoric The Forum is centered on those who implement concrete solutions to the cross-cutting challenges of today’s world. From 11 to 13 November at la Grande Halle de La Villette in Paris, these selected project leaders will be able to showcase their innovative work in areas of peace and security, development, environment, new technologies, inclusive economy, and culture & education. It will be an opportunity for them to develop, energize, and raise visibility to their project by reaching thousands of actors from across sectors and specialties. Their participation will also bring invaluable practical insight to the Forum and facilitate the exchange of best practices on the most pressing challenges the world faces.

“The selected projects represent a wide variety of solutions to make this planet a better place.” Justin Vaïsse,
