The Alliance for Peacebuilding (AfP) works to advance the field of interreligious dialogue, by facilitating the Peer Learning Community for Evaluation of Interreligious Dialogue Initiatives (PLC), in partnership with Porticus.

By fostering peer to peer relationships, building knowledge of best practices, identifying and addressing challenges in interreligious dialogue and DM&E of interreligious dialogues we work to strengthen Design, Monitoring and Evaluation (DM&E) capacity and efforts of our partner organizations. AfP thus actualizes a strong culture of evaluation and helps partner organizations integrate more evidence-based approaches.
