Our work

Our work portfolio is organised into our three main focus areas: peace process support, generating knowledge, and agenda setting.

Our three focus areas are closely connected and mutually reinforcing. For instance, our in-country process support serves as a laboratory for comparative global learning. In turn, lessons learned from in-country process support feed into peacebuilding and mediation theory. Knowledge generated this way also informs global and national policy processes and agendas.

Our practical engagement starts from multiple entry points: we respond to queries from international and local partners, we create forums for reflection, and we accompany peace and transition processes.

Peace Process Support

Inclusive Peace supports a diverse set of actors in peace and transition processes. Our engagement is based on state-of-the-art comparative knowledge, in-country expertise, a broad network of experts, and respect for local ownership and leadership.

Generating Knowledge

We conduct thematic and country-specific research related to peace and political transition processes. We work independently and in partnership with a range of actors. Our knowledge-base informs and is enhanced by work on policy and peace processes.

Agenda Setting

Inclusive Peace links its research efforts and in-country support to global policy and practice. We facilitate critical discussions in order to inform and change international and national normative development, linking this to evidence and action.
