The podcast will allow UNDP to showcase perspectives and conclusions from fresh research on the role of multi-level governance in sustaining peace in fragile and conflict-affected settings, bringing together selected experts in the field.
The discussion will emphasize definitions, demands and tools for strengthening multi-level governance in fragile and conflict-affected settings. In line with the overall theme, this will address challenges at different levels of governance from the global to the local. The podcast will highlight the potential of multi-level governance to strengthen people-centered recovery that addresses grievances, including those at the heart of conflict. The purpose is to demonstrate approaches and tools that hold potential to enhance legitimacy and trust in State-society relations, ultimately contributing to peacebuilding and increased stability.
Specifically, the podcast will share the lessons learnt from a review of multi-level governance in different country settings, conducted by UNDP and University of Melbourne researchers.
The podcast will also showcase UNDP’s new hands-on multi-level governance toolkit (forthcoming, 2023), developed by UNDP and the German Social Innovation Agency Minds & Makers, which is inspired by design thinking principles and targets peacebuilding and development practitioners engaged in country-level programming.
These new products will be complemented by perspectives from other partners as well as lessons from multi-level governance programming in fragile and crisis-affected countries.
Listeners are encouraged to reflect on and respond to questions arising from the podcast and engage in a discussion with other listeners. Please share your thoughts, ideas and questions on UNDP’s discussion page!

Every day, humanitarian workers negotiate with different counterparts – from armed groups to government authorities, and from religious leaders to displaced communities – to deliver aid in crisis situations. To negotiate successfully, these professionals need to carefully analyse the situation, create a strategic plan, and manage very high pressure.
The podcast series “Frontline Negotiators: Stories from the Field” guides you through personal stories told by humanitarian professionals who negotiate to access, assist and protect people in crisis.
The series is produced by the Centre of Competence on Humanitarian Negotiation – a shared initiative of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Médecins Sans Frontières Switzerland, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, and the UN World Food Programme.

New episodes are released biweekly until December 2023.
Multilateral arms control agreements face a credibility crisis, marked by declining transparency and inconsistent enforcement. Many States Parties now opt for private reports under the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), reducing public accountability. Non-compliance often goes unaddressed. However, the true measure of these agreements should be their impact on communities affected by firearm violence and the trust they foster.
Campaigners striving to prevent gun violence have limited participation opportunities in multilateral forums, where top-down approaches prevail. This podcast aims to amplify the voices of these campaigners, offering their perspectives on the impact of arms control agreements.
