BRUSSELS, 23 December 2021, (TON): With a budget of almost €900 million, the Global Europe thematic programme on Peace, Stability and Conflict Prevention will support actions with a global or trans-regional impact during the period of 2021-2027, by providing assistance to build capacities for conflict prevention, peacebuilding and crisis preparedness and addressing global, trans-regional and emerging threats.

Through this programme, the EU will contribute to the achievement of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The EU is stepping up its capacity to advance peace and security in conflict-affected areas.

High Representative/Vice-President Josep Borrell said “the EU needs to be able to address instability and conflict globally. With this programme, we step up our capacity to act and support our partners in conflict prevention, peacebuilding and crisis preparedness globally, and to address emerging threats. It will ensure that we match our ambitions with tangible support.”

Building on the work done under the Instrument contributing to Stability and Peace, it will be complemented by other tools, such as the European Peace Facility and Common Security and Defence Policy missions and operations.

The support under this programme will focus on two main priorities “Peace, Stability and Conflict Prevention.”
