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.

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.
Climate security and emerging threats

We put local leadership and knowledge at the forefront to effectively tackle the pressing challenges of climate change and other emerging threats.
Locally-led peacebuilding action

We ensure local ownership and leadership for sustainable peacebuilding.
