People Building Peace - Netherlands

People Building Peace - Netherlands (PBP-NL) is the Dutch coalition of peacebuilding organisations. It was initiated by thirteen organisations from the Netherlands who endorsed the Dublin Action Agenda produced in 2004 as part of the GPPAC regional process. The thirteen endorsing Dutch organisations also provided input in to the Global Action Agenda (GAA) process. For this reason, the coalition called itself "GAAndeweg."

Since then, the coalition has re-named itself People Building Peace Netherlands (PBP-NL), and has grown to include over forty members. The ECCP was on the Steering Committee of the coalition until the end of 2008, along with the organisations Kerk en Vrede, Oxfam Novib, Platform Vredescultuur and UNOY Peacebuilders. The Secretariat is held by NEAG Alternatieven voor geweld.

PBP-NL has its own nine-point action agenda for The Netherlands, and aims to focus celebrations of the International Day of Peace on 21 September on a different action point each year.
