IPI, together with Independent Diplomat cohosted a discussion on November 13th on innovative means to engage non-state actors in multilateral conflict resolution and prevention.

As armed conflicts reach their highest level in decades and the UN Security Council faces mounting criticism for its inability to prevent or resolve contemporary crises, there is an urgent need for more effective approaches to international peacemaking. One gap in current approaches is the lack of meaningful engagement with non-state actors, including armed groups, political opposition parties, and civil society movements—particularly within the Security Council. To fill this gap, the nonprofit diplomatic advisory group Independent Diplomat (ID) launched the “Meet the Parties” (MTP) platform.

MTP offers an impartial, confidential platform for UN Security Council members to engage multilaterally with non-state stakeholders—many of them politically contested. Over the past two years, ID has facilitated dozens of discreet MTP meetings between Security Council members and non-state actors from Afghanistan, Cameroon, South Sudan, Syria, and Sudan. MTP demonstrates that informal, unconventional approaches to diplomacy can positively influence both affected parties and international stakeholders.

This event presented a new policy report with findings from the first comprehensive assessment of the MTP initiative. The report spotlights practical methods to strengthen the inclusion of non-state actors in Security Council consultations. It also explores the transferability of these lessons beyond the Security Council, including to the UN Peacebuilding Commission, the African Union, and other multilateral forums.

Speakers:
Reza Afshar, OBE, Executive Director, Independent Diplomat
Andreas Løvold, Deputy Permanent Representative of Norway to the UN
Larry Johnson, Former UN Assistant Secretary-General for Legal Affairs
Kevin Irakoze, Assistant Professor, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Mariam Jalabi, Co-founder, Syrian Women’s Political Movement

Moderator:
Jenna Russo, Director of Research, Head of the Brian Urquhart Center for Peace Operations, International Peace Institute

African and European Heads of State or Government will meet in Luanda (Angola) on 24 and 25 November 2025 for the Seventh European Union (EU)-African Union Summit. The Africa-EU partnership faces significant challenges, including global geopolitical shifts and shrinking development finance. Central to the EU’s new approach, the Global Gateway strategy aims to mobilise €150 billion by 2027 to boost Africa’s digital connectivity, transport infrastructure, and energy transition. However, questions remain over ownership and whether African priorities are genuinely reflected. To ensure the partnership remains effective, it must deliver on the commitments made at the 2022 summit and strengthen accountability mechanisms. This means addressing persistent challenges in implementation, such as lack of coordination, inconsistent reporting, and data gaps.

The European Parliament has consistently advocated for a people-centred partnership that genuinely benefits both Europeans and Africans.

This briefing provides an insight into the broad context that will set the scene for discussions. Detailed specifics of the four pillars of the partnership are discussed in separate publications: Prosperity (economy and connectivity; natural resources, health, research and education), Peace (security and governance), People (migration and mobility) and Planet (multilateralism).

It is crucial for the next summit to embody a partnership of equals, supporting sustainable development, peace, and prosperity for both continents.

Over the past year, the OSCE, in partnership with Switzerland and local partners, has brought together hundreds of young professionals from across Central Asia to co-create solutions for the region’s interconnected Water-Energy-Food (WEF) challenges. Through the “Drops of the Future” workshop series, participants have engaged in dialogue, collaborative exercises, and field visits aimed at shaping a shared vision for sustainable development.

The series began on 6–7 June 2024 in Vahdat, Tajikistan, alongside the 3rd Dushanbe Water Action Decade Conference. More than 40 young professionals – including members of the Women in Water Management Network – explored innovative technical solutions, water use patterns in agriculture, and building blocks for a joint vision, with support from FAO, The Economist Impact, SIWI, CAREC, the Geneva Water Hub and the SUEN Turkish Water Institute. Outcomes were shared at high-level conference events including the UNICEF Youth and Children’s Water and Climate Forum, UN Women’s Women and Water Forum, and an OSCE-co-organized side event on capacity building for integrated water resources management.

On 6–7 September 2024, the second workshop in Almaty, Kazakhstan gathered a diverse group of young professionals, including members of the Women in Water Diplomacy Network. Participants emphasized harmony with cultural and traditional knowledge, inclusive stakeholder collaboration, and nature-positive solutions. A field visit to the Kapchagay Solar Power Plant demonstrated renewable energy’s role in sustainable development.

The journey continued in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, where the third edition focused on technological innovation, including water-efficient agricultural machinery, advanced water sensors for cotton production, and the role of local meteorological stations in climate-resilient farming. A visit to a local cotton farm showcased how traditional practices can be combined with modern irrigation and harvesting technologies.

On 13–14 December 2024 in Koy-Tash, Kyrgyzstan, the fourth workshop examined climate change’s growing impact on security and the unifying power of water in fostering cooperation. Field visits to the “BaiElim” food processing facility provided real-world insights into how food systems can support broader development goals.

The final stop took place on 29–30 January 2025 in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, where the OSCE Conflict Prevention Centre introduced negotiation skills for managing complex trade-offs. Participants reaffirmed commitments to intergenerational renewal of traditions, aligning innovation with the true cost of resources, and ensuring inclusive participation – particularly by women. Field visits to the Bagtyarlyk Fresh Water Treatment Plant and the Kumush Suw Farming Society offered practical perspectives on water and food sustainability.

Across all five workshops, a living “Drops of the Future” Declaration has taken shape – capturing a shared vision rooted in inclusion, innovation, traditional knowledge, and regional cooperation. The series has emerged as a unique platform for empowering youth to address WEF challenges while strengthening cross-border dialogue and resilience in Central Asia.
