Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict Internship: Empowering Ambassadors for a Safer World

The world is faced with numerous conflicts and tensions that threaten global peace and security. As a response to this pressing issue, the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) was established in 2006 as an international network of organizations committed to preventing armed conflict. The GPPAC aims to promote dialogue and cooperation between governments, civil society, and other stakeholders to prevent violent conflicts from occurring.

As a part of this initiative, the GPPAC offers internships to young professionals who are passionate about international relations and conflict prevention. These interns have the opportunity to work with experienced ambassadors and diplomats from around the world, gaining valuable insights into the complex issues surrounding armed conflict prevention.

One such ambassador is Kirsti Kauppi, a seasoned diplomat who has dedicated her career to promoting peace and security. With over three decades of experience in international diplomacy, Ambassador Kauppi has served in various capacities, including as Finland's Ambassador to Austria, Permanent Representative to the UN-related organizations in Vienna, Director General for Political Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), and most recently, Ambassador of Finland to the United States.

Ambassador Kauppi's impressive career is a testament to her dedication to conflict prevention. During her tenure as Ambassador to Austria, she worked closely with international organizations such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and served as the Finnish Governor in the IAEA Board of Governors, including vice chair of the Board. Her experience has given her a unique understanding of the complexities surrounding armed conflict prevention.
