Conference

State of Terrorism 2024: Addressing the evolving threat in Africa through data-informed and evidence-based approach

The second annual “State of Terrorism” event hosted by UNOCT aims to delve into the current state of terrorism and its broad implications on global peace, security, and human rights. The evolving threat landscape of terrorism presents new challenges and complexities that demand our collective insight and action. This event will comprise a high-level strategic discussion and knowledge-sharing effort by the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED), the United Nations Office to the African Union (UNOAU), the United Nations Office for West Africa and the Sahel (UNOWAS), the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), AQMT and UNOCT, aimed at exploring how existing data, trend analysis and knowledge-sharing tools could support the development of robust, comprehensive risk based, human rights centered and holistic counter-terrorism responses, in light of the current terrorism landscape. The event will also introduce key findings from the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) annual Global Terrorism Index for 2024, the 18th Secretary-General’s report on the threat posed by ISIL (Da’esh) and the 33rd AQMT report.  The 2024 Global Terrorism Index (GTI) is an annual report published by the renowned IEP. The GTI is a comprehensive study on the impact of terrorism, as well as terrorism trends and patterns across 163 countries, covering 99.7 per cent of the world’s population. Following this, the event will host a panel discussion with experts from United Nations Global Counter-Terrrorism Coordination Compact entities, regional and international organizations, civil society and academia, as well as Member State representatives on how data and evidenced-based approaches could inform more efficient responses to address the complex phenomenon of terrorism and violent extremism conducive to terrorism in Africa.

Roundtable

The role of the social and solidarity economy in rebuilding Ukraine

In the wake of the war in Ukraine, the need for innovative and sustainable economic reconstruction strategies is more pressing. The Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) presents an unprecedented opportunity to integrate financial returns with measurable societal benefits, paving the way for a resilient and inclusive recovery path for Ukraine. With Ukraine's strategic move towards EU integration and the necessity for post-war recovery, the round table aims to highlight the critical role of SSE in fostering sustainable peace-building initiatives and economic prosperity. This gathering of pivotal stakeholders aims to spotlight Ukraine’s initiative to become a flagship country for the Pact for Impact Global Alliance, illustrating its dedication to adopting SSE as a linchpin for sustainable development, economic fortitude, and social welfare. Through this alliance, Ukraine aspires to lead by example, showcasing how SSE can engender a transformative impact on traditional economic paradigms for a sustainable future. Agenda Understanding SSE: Unpack the principles of the Social and Solidarity Economy, UN Resolution for Social and Solidarity Economy, and objectives of Pact for Impact Alliance. Discuss how Ukraine's alignment with these frameworks can transform its economic models towards sustainable and inclusive development. Role of SSE in Ukraine and building resilience: Analyze how SSE practices can underpin Ukraine's reconstruction efforts, promote community resilience, and foster social cohesion, with a focus on Ukraine's ambition to serve as a pioneering country within the Pact for Impact Global Alliance.
