Objective

This implementer Dialogue, organized in collaboration with IDLO, aims to convene development practitioners, implementers, policy and decision makers in order to disseminate expert knowledge and practical experience on adaptive programming, with a specific focus on engaging with the PEA as an analytical  tool to forumlate high-impact and high quality security and rule of law programming.

The following questions will be addressed:

1. With what purpose and at what stage should we conduct the PEA for security and rule of law interventions?

2. What are the advantages and the challenges of conducting the PEA for security and rule of law interventions?

3. How can we ensure that the PEA is properly built into program design and implementation, and where relevant, in agreement with partners and donors?

4. How can we ensure that PEAs are undertaken at regular intervals and as an iterative process? How can we avoid the PEA being a one-off exercise?

5. How do we ensure that the PEA remains relevant in the environment of constant political change - and therefore also how do we ensure that programs remain relevant?

To ensure an open and pragmatic exchange, the dialogue will be held under Chatham House Rule, among a targeted limited group of relevant organizations, with existing or emerging linkages among respective portfolios of work.

To kick off 2018, the Knowledge Platform will bring Mary Kaldor to The Hague to deliver a public lecture entitled "Second Generation Human Security".

DOORS OPEN AT 13.00H.

She was a founding member of European Nuclear Disarmament (END), a founder and Co-Chair of the Helsinki Citizen's Assembly and a member of the International Independent Commission to investigate the Kosovo Crisis, established by the Swedish Prime Minister.

Professor Kaldor pioneered the concept of new wars and global civil society and her work on the practical implementation of human security has directly influenced European and national politics. Her books include: The Baroque Arsenal, New and Old Wars: Organised Violence in a Global Era, Global Civil Society: An Answer to War and Human Security: Reflections on Globalization and Intervention. She is also the editor and co-author of the annual Global Civil Society Yearbook. Her most recent book International Law and New Wars, co-authored with Professor Christine Chinkin, was published in May 2017.
