A Network of People Building Peace
Inclusion of women and youth peacebuilders
We empower women and youth as agents of change. Inclusion isn't an afterthought; it's a guiding principle in everything we do.
Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict
What we do
As a member-led network connecting over 250+ civil society organisations worldwide, we champion a network approach to peacebuilding. Concretely, this means we support and empower each other to drive locally-led and locally-owned peacebuilding. We do so by creating vibrant and collaborative learning and exchange spaces.
