IPYP’s Inception Report tells the story of how the multistakeholder platform came to be and outlines the foundations on which it was built.
As part of the IPYP Secretariat, the Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation houses the Project Team and supports the platform’s ideation, research and development. It also administers a small Research and Development (R&D) Fund to help members develop initiatives within IPYP’s innovation portfolio, while supporting the IPYP community of practice to strengthen the broader ecosystem of actors working to build meaningful private-sector partnerships with young peacebuilders.
IPYP’s vision and mission have evolved since its inception, but the inception report below offers a look back at where it all began.
