The Effective Peacebuilding Initiative identifies, analyzes, and promotes interventions proven to prevent and resolve armed conflict. Our data-driven approach transforms how organizations and policymakers build lasting peace.

Wars prevented or ended thanks to external peacemaking
With conflicts increasing and peacebuilding resources shrinking globally, it’s more important than ever to identify and invest in approaches that are proven to work.
If we can learn from the past, we are no longer doomed to repeat it.
We partner with leading experts and funders to help peacebuilders get the knowledge and resources they need to more effectively target their efforts and more accurately evaluate their impact. We believe that providing clear and compelling evidence that peacebuilding can work is the best way to attract the attention, funding and resolve peacebuilders need to succeed.
