We are advancing the approach and the narrative of peacebuilding
We are unwavering in our pursuit to reimagine the peace space. We introduce a common lexicon and an actionable framework that infuses a renewed sense of purpose and a unity of vision into the complex field of peacemaking. The Principles for Peace stand as more than just an innovative set of standards; they are a game plan, an approach, and a guide. Not only do they offer common metrics and a unified language that bridges international and local peacemaking policies, processes, and organisations, but they also serve as an adaptable framework for action. Tailored to the unique needs of our partners, the Principles act as both a diagnostic and accountability tool, facilitating co-created assessment strategies, planning, and actions across the intricate landscape of the peace sector, while ensuring gender integration at every step.
We are not merely adding another strategy to the arena; we are advancing the approach and the narrative of peacebuilding, enabling nuanced assessment, strategic planning, and impactful action throughout the peace sector‘s expanse.
