Entry points for climate finance and peacebuilding in Afghanistan
This report examines the current climate finance landscape in Afghanistan, analysing funding trends before and after 2021 and identifying entry points for action under current political constraints.
It explores how political constraints and institutional gaps have reshaped access, delivery, and co-financing dynamics, while identifying emerging models for indirect implementation through UN agencies, NGOs, and regional mechanisms.

Politics beyond the partyInformal pathways for ex-combatants’ political transformation
The Primer explains the importance of informal political spaces in achieving long-term peace. These arenas are often the most immediate and accessible venues where marginalised groups or lower-level fighters -- including women and young people -- can express their views, develop leadership skills, and take action, especially when formal institutions are inaccessible, exclusive, or no longer trusted. Acknowledging and supporting these peaceful forms of organisation allows DDR and peacebuilding actors to enable ex-combatants to pursue social change without violence, resolve grievances constructively, and rebuild confidence between them and the wider community.

Getting the timing rightSequencing DDR and political transformation support
This Primer provides guidance for DDR practitioners, peacebuilding stakeholders, and international partners on how to sequence DDR efforts alongside political transformation in ways that align and ideally strengthen one another. Using insights from cases like Nepal, Liberia, Northern Ireland, the Philippines, and Colombia, it examines how different sequencing choices affect the relationship between security and political inclusion in post-conflict settings. The document presents conceptual frameworks, comparative case examples and practical principles to help develop more coordinated and context-sensitive strategies.
