Our vision is a world where local communities can sustain peace themselves. We are working towards a reality where the peacebuilders we currently work with do not have to rely on support from intermediary organisations like us, or even international funders, to access the resources they need. This means supporting peacebuilding work that develops livelihood opportunities.
Currently, funders often provide money for single projects – but what happens to the peacebuilding organisation when the programme ends? We encourage the international funders we work with to provide flexible, longer-term funding that covers operational costs as well as peacebuilding activities. For peace to be sustainable, peacebuilding organisations need to be sustained.
