What

Inclusive Peace is a think-and-do tank supporting civilian-led peace processes. We conduct comparative research and draw on this knowledge to accompany civilian and national actors on their journeys to build peace in some of the world’s most complex conflicts.

How 

We accompany civilian and national actors by offering evidence-based advice and facilitating spaces to convene and strategize. We take an eco-system approach which means that we work with as many actors as possible in a given context and we work based on the priorities and needs expressed by partners, and informed by our comparative experience on how processes evolve. We work with reality as it presents itself and with scenario planning.

What we are trying to achieve

We work alongside civilian and national actors to establish the structures for inclusion and dialogue that over time can enable peaceful and inclusive societies.

What sets us apart 

We embrace a localized and decolonial approach to peace process support and research. We support local leadership and view collaborative non-competitive partnerships as key. We don’t engage in financial relationships with partners, seeking to engage in a more authentic, partner-driven way, and avoiding some of the negative incentives that hinder locally-led efforts from moving forward.

The team

We are an entirely remote team with colleagues in Nairobi, Tbilisi, Kampala, Frankfurt, Zürich, Seoul, Copenhagen, and elsewhere. Inclusive Peace is an independent registered association under Swiss law.
