Values
-
Collaboration
We believe that everybody affected by conflict has a stake in peace. We work to create peaceful and inclusive change within societies in partnership with local people, to respond to violence, inequality, injustice and exclusion.
-
Creativity
We believe that peacebuilding needs to be flexible and adaptive to the specific and evolving realities of each conflict context. We support innovative ways to influence change, and we share insights from people’s lived experience globally to build collective knowledge and expertise.
-
Challenge
We believe that peace can only come about if people have a chance to better understand their conflict and if difficult conversations are held between allies and adversaries. We stand alongside those who, with courage and integrity, reach out across conflict divides.
-
Commitment
We believe that building sustainable peace takes time. That’s why we make long-term commitments to support just and resilient transitions from protracted conflict to lasting peace.
