ways to engage

Partner with us

We offer our partners a menu of options on how to engage with us and how to best benefit from our support. Our offer to them is demand-driven, contextually adapted, and non-prescriptive. All our efforts are collective in nature and co-designed, implemented, and monitored in collaboration with stakeholders at the local, regional, and global levels.

Based on the specific needs and demands of our partners, we adjust our support strategies and practical tools, for constituencies and geographies alike. For example, we assist in peace engagements aimed at stopping an active armed conflict, peace processes that need to be revamped or revitalised, the development of strategies to prevent outbreaks of violence, and in the advancement of initiatives aiming for peace consolidation.
