Cohort I: Inclusive Dialogue

The first cohort was jointly organized by UNDP and the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI) in partnership with the Joint UNDP-DPPA Programme. This cohort was designed to allow the Fellows to reflect on the issue of the role of inclusive dialogue for peace and development, drawing on their concrete experiences from various regions in the world.

The Fellows worked on extensively engaging with research and policy institutions based in Oslo and sharing experiences in how they have effectively promoted inclusive dialogue and the kind of engagement they have had with local communities and national stakeholders. This cohort ultimately assessed what works and where are the gaps in this area.
