Membership Benefits

Named the “number one influencer and change agent” among peacebuilding institutions worldwide—AfP is a nonprofit and nonpartisan network of more than 300 organizations working in 181 countries to prevent conflict, reduce violence, and build sustainable peace. At our core, AfP cultivates a global network to strengthen and advance the peacebuilding field, enabling peacebuilding organizations to achieve greater impact—tackling issues too large for any one organization to address alone.

As members of AfP, organizations, partners, and individuals join the leading global network of peacebuilding actors to tackle the most pressing global peace and security issues. Members gain unique opportunities to shape the peacebuilding field, build their network, enhance their organizational and leadership capacity, and amplify their programs, research, and events. These exclusive offerings allow members to engage with cross-sectoral experts, donors, and policymakers.
