We initiate, develop and support collaborative action among nongovernmental, governmental, and intergovernmental organizations. We also build understanding of and support for peacebuilding policies and programs among leaders in government, business, media, philanthropy, religion, and other sectors of civil society. In addition, we help increase the effectiveness of the peacebuilding field by developing networks, disseminating best practices, and enhancing organizational capacities and professional skills.
“You represent the ability to seek peace for its own sake, without necessarily considering the interests of different external actors. In fact, we have encouraged NGOs and civil society groups to actively engage in situations where the solution is to go in this direction. This relationship needs to continue. It has been recognized by the former Secretary General, and the current Secretary General, that civil society’s partnership in peace making and peace consolidation is central and we will see more and more of that partnership in times to come.”
Haile Menkerios, the Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations at Alliance's for Peacebuilding Annual Meeting last October 2007 at the Shawnee on Delaware, PA.
