The Multi-Year Appeal (MYA) is the primary extra-budgetary instrument of the Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs (DPPA). Voluntary funding through the MYA helps DPPA to lead the Secretary-General’s good offices and mediation efforts, provide political analysis, electoral assistance, and supports Special Envoys and Special Representatives of the Secretary-General in their efforts to foster inclusive dialogues and resolve conflicts. Two-thirds of MYA funding is unearmarked, which critically grants DPPA the flexibility to respond to acute needs and redirect resources as required. The MYA is guided by the Department’s 2023-2026 Strategic Plan. A new Appeal for 2023-2026 was launched to accompany the implementation of DPPA’s latest Strategic Plan, calling for a total of $170 million over four years. Voluntary funding helps DPPA to raise extrabudgetary funding for conflict prevention and conflict resolution and enables the Department to maintain crucial efforts in support of Special Political Missions (SPMs), providing political analysis as well as mediation and electoral support to a multitude of partners. The MYA is also an incubator of ideas and increasingly invests in new areas, such as innovation and new technologies or by helping expand on the interlinkages between climate change and peace and security challenges. It supports key thematic priorities of the Department, including women, peace and security. As a uniquely flexible tool, the MYA is positioned to seize opportunities and enable rapid responses in pursuit of DPPA’s conflict prevention, peacemaking and peacebuilding mandate. On average, two-thirds of contributions are unearmarked, providing DPPA with the flexibility to channel funding to where it is needed most. Activities funded by the MYA contribute directly to the achievement of SDGs, in particular SDG 5 (gender equality and women’s empowerment), 16 (peace, justice, and strong institutions), and 17 (partnerships). The dataset shall be updated biannually (July and December).

CPAS enables peacekeeping mission leadership to make informed, evidence-based decisions to enhance the implementation of their mandates. It helps in rapidly de-escalating conflicts and improving the lives of people living in the countries where these missions operate. CPAS allows missions to assess their operating environment, set goals, and track progress using data and analysis. It is designed to improve the effectiveness of UN peacekeeping operations and contribute to global peace and security objectives by integrating planning and performance assessment across various mission components, including civilians, military, and police. This dataset contains the statistics of indicators and impact assessments per mission.
