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.

Our work:
- Collaboration Connections:
Several times each year, AfP sponsors meetings of NGOs, government officials and policy analysts to examine the conflict environment in specific places. The process includes identification of the organizations and agencies actively involved in the area, determination of the causes of conflict, exploration of possible solutions, and determination of what, if anything, the participants might be able to do together to help build peace.

- Speaking and Counsel to Others:
AfP leaders speak at conferences, on college campuses and for civic organizations throughout the country. AfP is often invited to present policy recommendations to government officials and international organizations.

- Advocacy for the Peacebuilding Community:
The Alliance for Peacebuilding is the voice of the peacebuilding community. We speak on behalf of all of our members in the halls of the US Congress, in the Departments of State and Defense and with USAID and USIP. We also meet regularly on behalf of the community with officials at the United Nations, World Bank and other international institutions.

- Vital Information:
The Alliance for Peacebuilding provides member organizations with a single point of contact to share information about their best practices and lessons learned and we provide vital information about job opportunities, important reports, and grant and contract opportunities.
