standards integrating an independent measurement and feedback
mechanism to aid decision-makers in assessing and refining their peace strategies.

We support peace-building

A ViSION FOR LASTING PEACE

We provide a framework for action and a benchmark for progress.

We offer a suite of tools, diagnostics, and expert-guided strategies.

We promote coherence, transparency, and accountability in all peace efforts.

Our commitment is to:

Shift the focus

We depart from focusing simply on ending violence to fostering inclusive, legitimate, and enduring peace, paired with accountable security.

Reinvent partnerships

We facilitate genuine peace-oriented partnerships, by valuing local led state-society solutions over elite power-sharing. We serve not as the architects but as the midwives of peace.

Transform dynamics

We move beyond mere elite power-sharing to embrace collaborative state-society relations

Harness the principles for peace

We accompany stakeholders throughout the intricacies of peace processes. We guide alliance building and dialogues, assess the progress of shared metrics, and navigate course correction.

Move from policy to funding

We utilise our diagnostics and feedback loop mechanism to produce and monitor effective measurements. We strive to ensure accountability to taxpayers and affected communities and guide collective action.
