Peace in the world and peace in the g7+ countries; Shared Challenges and Solu9ons High-level Summit

While more developed and stable nations possess greater resources and resilience to navigate these challenges, conflict-affected countries, such as those in the g7+, confront significant barriers and vulnerabilities. Interconnected challenges require shared solutions that could only results from inclusive and effective multilateral processes and institutions.

Established to assist its members in overcoming the “last mile” of development and exiting fragility traps, the g7+ promotes peer learning and effective cooperation with the international community. It played a pivotal role in advocating for SDG 16, aiming to foster peaceful, just, and inclusive societies with effective institutions. Since its inception, the g7+ has emerged as a forum collectively promoting better policies that are founded on the long-term vision of lasting peace, stability and are context specific. The group has sought avenues to share the collective experiences of its members in pursuing peace and stability. Such experiences have provided useful inputs to global discourse on peace and stability.

Sierra Leone’s non-permanent membership in the United Nations Security Council presents a unique opportunity for the g7+ to advocate for these priorities and to represent the perspectives of conflict-affected countries in global peacebuilding and statebuilding discussions.

The Summit provides a crucial opportunity for g7+ members to strategize on advancing their collective mission at the United Nations and other global forums.
