Building Lasting Peace

Three Decades of Transformative Impact

Since its founding in 1994, Interpeace has served those affected by conflict by amplifying the voices of communities, building trust in divided societies, and nurturing the conditions for sustainable peace.
Interpeace is an international organization that prevents violence and builds lasting peace. We have 30 years of experience working in African, the Middle East, Asia, Europe and Latin America, strenghtening societies' capacities to manage conflict through non-violent, collaborative approaches.

Our Work

Prevention and Transformation of Violent Conflict

The most efficient way to resolve conflicts is to prevent and transform them
Grounded in community-voices and efforts to address the underlying drivers of conflict, we work to identify root causes, create response mechanisms, shift power relations, build resilience, and transform conflicts before, during and after crises.

Peace Responsiveness

Peace is not built by peacebuilders alone
Peace Responsiveness ensure that interventions across humanitarian, development, climate, and economic sectors are designed to foster peace and address the evolving nature of violence. Through cross-sectoral integration, conflict-sensitive programming, and strategic partnerships, we embed peacebuilding across institutional mandates.

Peace Diplomacy and Advocacy

Promoting peace, changing policies, and equipping the next generation of peacebuilders
We forge linkages between and beyond horizontal and vertical peace efforts and act as a node for authorities, civil society, communities, and experts. We strive to ensure that evidence and the knowledge, voices, and needs of communities are at the centre of solutions.

Principles

Our work is guided by five foundational principles creating a base for shared values, respect, and contextual sensitivity, thus enabling trust and trustworthiness.

Inclusion

Peace is grounded in the diverse perspectives, experiences, and participation of all groups.

Equality

Peace is rooted in the upholding of fundamental human rights for all.

Accountability

Peace is anchored in justice and ensures redress and restoration for harms committed.

Integrity

Peace is built on trust earned through responsibility, transparency, and consistency.

Impartiality

Peace is fostered through humility, awareness of biases, non-partisanship, and independence.
