Our Approach to Peacebuilding
The IFED International Peace Center employs a comprehensive, multi-dimensional approach to building sustainable peace.
Holistic Framework
We recognize that peace is not merely the absence of violence, but the presence of justice, equity, and positive relationships. Our approach addresses the structural, cultural, and direct dimensions of conflict simultaneously.
Local Ownership
Sustainable peace must be built by those who will live with it. We support locally-led initiatives and ensure that affected communities drive the peacebuilding process, with our role being that of facilitator and resource provider.
Integrated Pillars
Our three pillars—trade, conflict resolution, and community projects—work in concert to address different aspects of peacebuilding, creating a comprehensive approach that builds peace from multiple angles.
