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 needs of the contexts and the specific demand of our partners, we adapt our support strategies and practical tools both to constituencies and geographies – e.g., from peace engagements aimed at stopping an active armed conflict, to peace processes that need to be revamped or revitalised, to strategies to prevent outbreaks of violence, and initiatives in support of peace consolidation.

Co-creating practical and innovative solutions

Run peacegaming simulations for decision-makers to support course correction around spe-cific contexts and/or constituencies.
