Peacebuilding Fund Priorities: A Thematic Coding System for Project Outcomes

The United Nations Peace and Security Data Hub provides a reference dataset detailing a peacebuilding priorities coding system. This system, described in a 2020 journal article updated in 2024, allows for the classification of project outcomes by their thematic peacebuilding focus. The dataset is intended for use as a reference table for related Peacebuilding Fund outcomes data.

Use Cases

• Classifying international aid project outcomes based on the described thematic peacebuilding focus.
• Cross-referencing project data from the Peacebuilding Fund - Outcomes dataset using the coding system.
• Analyzing trends in peacebuilding funding priorities across different regions or time periods.

Strengths

• Dataset is directly linked to a peer-reviewed journal article (Maleh et al., 2020, updated 2024) explaining the coding system.
• Published under a CC-BY-3.0-IGO license, permitting reuse with attribution.
• Maintained by the authoritative United Nations Peace and Security Data Hub.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
