For its second edition, the Call for Projects of the Paris Peace Forum received more than 700 project submissions from 115 countries, led by a wide panel of actors of global governance, such as states, international organizations, NGOs, companies, foundations, philanthropic organizations, development agencies, religious groups, trade unions, think tanks and universities. The Selection Committee evaluated all submissions and made its choice based on a geographically balanced representation. These selected project leaders will be able to showcase their innovative work, with the Forum serving as an opportunity for them to develop, energize, and raise visibility to their project by reaching thousands of actors from across sectors and specialties. Their participation will also bring invaluable practical insight to the Forum and facilitate the exchange of best practices on the most pressing challenges the world faces.

Since announcing in June the chosen projects to present at the 2019 Forum, we have been revealing behind-the-scenes glimpses to get to know each of these global governance initiatives. From video project introductions and behind the scenes snapshots on Instagram, to expert article contributions on the Paris Peace Forum Medium blog, here’s all the ways you can explore this year’s initiatives.
