#3: People-Centered Peacekeeping

A people-centered approach to UN Peacekeeping makes sense as a concept-- listen and learn from the communities you are mandated to protect -- but how is it actually implemented in practice? Speaking with experts from the Central African Republic, South Sudan, and United Nations Headquarters, this episode explores the need for applying a people-centered approach in peacekeeping contexts and the complexities of effectively implementing this approach.

Guests: 

• Kessy Ekomo-Soignet (Founder and Executive Director of youth-led NGO URU and General Director at Peace Development Watch)
• Marco Donati (Civil Affairs Team Leader, UN Department of Peace Operations)
• Geoffrey L. Duke (Director, South Sudan Action Network on Small Arms (SSANSA))
