In our first episode of Co-Inspira, the Peacebuilding Program in Colombia by Adapt Peacebuilding, we are pleased to introduce you to Leslie Wingender. With a career dedicated to peacebuilding in places such as the Central African Republic, Guatemala, Iraq, Lebanon, and Colombia, Leslie has led the design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of peacebuilding and conflict management programs in diverse contexts. In our conversation, Leslie shared her personal inspirations and challenges in peacebuilding, as well as her intimate vision of how peacebuilding can transform the lives of individuals and communities.

Leslie is currently the Director of Peacebuilding at Humanity United, leading the monitoring and evaluation approach of the Peacebuilding team and supporting learning among teams. Join us to hear Leslie share her experience and passion for peace, and discover how each of us can contribute to building a more just, inclusive, and peaceful society.

Decades of experience building peace in societies affected by violent conflict shows that these efforts are more effective and sustainable when they are led by local people. Despite this experience, the global system of peacebuilding organisations and institutions that fund and administer peacebuilding programs still largely reflects the interests of international outsiders. In this episode, we talk with Mie Roesdahl of the Conducive Space for Peace and how to achieve transformation of the global peacebuilding system so that it better prioritises the leadership of local people and reflects the contexts in which they seek change. Further detail is available in the System in Flux report.
