The Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs (DPPA) maintains liaison presences in strategic locations around the world to strengthen partnerships, support political engagement and advance United Nations efforts to prevent and resolve conflict.
Working closely with regional and subregional organizations, Member States and United Nations partners, these presences help sustain dialogue, facilitate the exchange of information and political analysis, and identify opportunities for preventive diplomacy and cooperation. They serve as important links between United Nations Headquarters and partners at the regional and country levels, helping ensure that political developments and emerging challenges are understood and addressed through coordinated engagement.
