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.
