OUR VISION
OUR WORK
P4P activates peace ecosystems
through five principal assets
1. Principles, standards, and thought leadership
offering a shared benchmark and forward-looking insights to design, measure, and enhance peacemaking.
2. Measurement, diagnostics, and course correction
using the Peace Navigator and AI-enabled analysis to bridge data and decision-making.
3. Simulations, playbooks, and incubation spaces
unlocking path dependency and status quo responses within peace ecosystems.
4. Accompaniment, coalition, and momentum-building
aligning actors around credible options for peace, security, and stability.
5. Discreet political convening and influencing
leveraging the Geneva Architecture for Peace and Security (GAPS) to build understanding and confidence across conflict divides.
