EUMA Launches Mission's First Civil Society Strategy

EUMA recognizes that civil society actors possess unique insights into the needs, challenges, and aspirations of the people most affected by the conflict. Their meaningful engagement with EUMA is not only a matter of principle but a practical necessity. Therefore, EUMA has developed its first internal Civil Society Strategy. The overarching aim of the strategy is to provide EUMA with a framework upon which it can strengthen its efforts to engage with civil society more consistently and effectively. It recognizes that civil society is invaluable to conflict prevention, resolution, and lasting peace, and consequently, invaluable to advancing the Mission's mandate implementation.

In line with the launch of its first Civil Society Strategy, EUMA continues to prioritize confidence-building efforts by fostering inclusive dialogue, enhancing transparency, and supporting people-to-people contacts, thereby reinforcing trust and contributing to a more conducive environment for sustainable peace.
