DT Institute and Inclusive Peace: Strengthening Peace Through Partnership

On September 1, DT Institute and Inclusive Peace entered into a long-term strategic partnership, officially merging the two organisations. This new partnership brings together peacebuilders and civic leaders with national and regional peace processes to build more open, informed, and peaceful societies.

At a time when violent conflict is now regarded by the WEF as the number one global threat, and peace-making and peacebuilding systems are breaking down, this merger represents a deliberate commitment to draw together the power of grassroots movements and conflict mediation with institutional actors that have deep implementation capacity across the development field. We recognise that the work must continue no matter how challenging the circumstances — and this partnership allows us to pool resources and maximise impact.

“I’m thrilled to welcome Inclusive Peace into the DT Institute family,” said John De Blasio, Founder and CEO of DT Institute. “This new partnership brings together U.S. and European partners into a shared peacebuilding framework and links that to real development assistance across the world.”

Inclusive Peace’s Managing Director, Zachary Taylor added “I am incredibly excited by this partnership as it widens the scope of our organisation’s proud record of supporting inclusivity in peacebuilding and provides scalability and real peace dividends to communities that have been ripped apart by conflict.”

Enduring peace requires respect, dignity and trust. With staff based around the world, hubs in Washington, DC and Geneva, and deep programmatic roots in the Middle East, the Horn of Africa, the Sahel and Eastern Europe, this new partnership will model these values and work with a broad range of partners to ensure peace delivers for everyone.
