Abstract
This paper examines the extent to which the UN Peacebuilding Commission (UNPBC) has considered the ‘peacebuilding potential of water’. Based on an analysis of documentation of 2006–14, it is argued that the UNPBC has paid significant attention to the role of water in post-conflict development, governance and reconciliation. However, given the UNPBC’s overall work output, the consideration that water has received as a peace-building tool should not be overstated. While a stronger integration of water into peace-building would be desirable in principle, decisions must be made on a country-by-country basis, taking into account peace-building priorities, local context and availability of donor support.
