Mission & Goals
Interpeace is one of the world’s leading peacebuilding organizations engaged at the country, regional and international levels. It has 30 years of experience supporting national peacebuilding and statebuilding, and currently works in 20 fragile and conflict-affected contexts around the world. It works exclusively with national peacebuilding teams that comprise over 300 peacebuilders worldwide. Interpeace has played a leading role over the past 30 years in the conceptual and operational development of the peacebuilding field. It began as a United Nations (UN) pilot project in 1994 aimed at better understanding how the international community could improve its support to building peace in countries emerging from conflict. Today it is a Swiss Association and continues its unique partnership with the UN, engaging with and contributing to the UN peacebuilding architecture at various levels.

Member of the European Peacebuilding Liaison Office https://eplo.org/about-us/ The European Peacebuilding Liaison Office (EPLO) is the independent civil society platform of European NGOs, NGO networks and think tanks that are committed to peacebuilding and the prevention of violent conflict. EPLO was founded in 2001 by 16 organisations. Mission EPLO’s mission is to influence European policy-makers to take a more active and effective approach in securing peace and nonviolent forms of conflict resolution in all regions of the world. Values EPLO is committed to the advancement of sustainable peace in the world, the greater involvement of civil society in the transformation and resolution of conflict, and nonviolent forms of action. In its work, EPLO is committed to the principles of respect for all human rights, non-discrimination, gender equality, cultural diversity, sustainable development, and the promotion of good governance and the rule of law at local, regional, national and international levels. What We Do EPLO advances the interests of its member organisations through common policy positions and consequently advocating for those common positions. EPLO disseminates information and promotes understanding of EU policies of concern to its member organisations. The Office also builds solidarity and co-operation amongst its member organisations and with other relevant NGO networks. Finally, EPLO raises awareness about the contribution that the EU should make to peacebuilding, and the need to hold the EU accountable to its own political commitments of helping to secure peace within and outside its borders.
