A free public library of datasets on peace and security published by the United Nations to empower data consumers across the world. The Peace and Security Data Hub is managed by the DPPA-DPO Information Management Unit to provide a centralized entry-point for up-to date public information on and about the UN’s Peace and Security Pillar. The Hub was a direct outcome of the Secretary General’s Data Strategy, which calls for ensuring everyone, everywhere can discover, access, integrate and share the data they need. The data on the platform is used by UN staff, UN Member States, journalists, training partners, academia and think tanks, as well as the public at large. With a growing number of datasets the Hub relies on an active user-base to provide feedback, direction and priorities.

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 stands for Comprehensive Planning and Performance Assessment System. It is a tool used in peacekeeping operations that aims to link the context of a country with peacekeeping planning, data, results, and reporting.
