Peace Diplomacy and Advocacy

Promoting peace, changing policies, and equipping the next generation of peacebuilders.

As we witness the erosion of multilateralism and the architectures of peace and security, our work in creating and accelerating interconnected, coordinated, and mutually reinforcing peacebuilding efforts moves to the forefront. To counterbalance the rise of destructive violence and to advocate for peace, we forge strong linkages beyond horizontal and vertical models and act as a node between authorities, civil society, communities, and experts. We strive to ensure that evidence and the knowledge, voices, and needs of communities are at the centre of solutions.

Priorities

  • Influencing Policy and Practice: Amplify the voices and realities of conflict-affected societies in decision-making through public fora and quiet diplomacy. Harness locally informed, evidence-based approaches to peace, reconciliation, and governance.
  • Public Engagement Through PeaceTalks: Change dominant narratives and increase public understanding and support for peaceful solutions by sharing lessons and lived experiences from grassroots activists and global leaders.
  • Reinforcing Capacities and Peace Education: Strengthen the skills, knowledge, and leadership of peacebuilders through training and mentorship programmes.
  • Thought Leadership and Narrative Change: Reshape global and national discourses and promote peace as a public good rooted in inclusion, justice, and resilience.
