On February 2, 2005, the Arab Partnership for Conflict Prevention and
Human Security (Interim Network) was formed as part of a larger effort
to contribute to the UN Global Process on the Role of Civil Society in
the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC).

between the United Nations, governments and civil society to develop a
common platform for effective action on conflict prevention from the
community to the global level. The Arab Partnership will focus their
efforts in the areas of
1) capacity building ;
2) dialogue and
awareness building;
3) human security.
Founding members include
conflict resolution and human security organizations across the Middle
East and North Africa.
