Alliance for Peacebuilding

Project Title

For a project on informing the peace and security policy architecture and advancing partnership models for peacebuilding

Date

Sep. 10, 2026

Duration

30 months

Description

Global conflict is at its highest level since World War II, yet policies and approaches that promote peace are fragmented, siloed, underfunded, and poorly communicated. The Alliance for Peacebuilding (AfP), a network of nearly 300 organizations working in 181 countries to prevent conflict, will address this challenge by articulating and building support for a nonpartisan approach to U.S. foreign policy that prioritizes global peace and stability. With Carnegie’s support, AfP will expand and employ its Future of Peace and Security Coalition to help develop and disseminate recommendations on rebuilding and reforming U.S. foreign policy and assistance geared toward peacebuilding and conflict prevention. Congressional offices will receive information on implementing a peace and security-centered U.S. foreign policy through bipartisan briefings and memos. AfP will also work to build public understanding and support for peacebuilding, using polling and consultations to test and refine its messaging on the importance of prioritizing peacebuilding. By developing and building widespread support across sectors for a U.S. peacebuilding architecture, AfP aims to support durable peace, and prevent and reducing deadly conflict.

Duration

24 months

Description

The Alliance for Peacebuilding (AfP) is a global membership association of more than 100 peacebuilding organizations that promotes collective action to influence, impact, and innovate the peacebuilding field. Through a series of focused meetings and its broad-ranging, annual “PeaceCon” conference in Washington, D.C., AfP brings together an exceptional coalition of peacebuilding actors addressing key areas of strategy and policy. Importantly, the organization’s learning and evaluation portfolio has advanced a culture of rigorous design, monitoring, and evaluation to generate better evidence-based standards for the field to demonstrate the impact of peacebuilding programming. As a hub and knowledge clearing house for the field, AfP also encourages cross-sector networking, advocacy, and public awareness-raising of important issues on the global peace and security agenda.

Project Title

For a consortium on evaluation and adaptive learning for peacebuilding

Date

Mar. 02, 2017

Duration

31 months

Description

The Peacebuilding Evaluation Consortium (PEC)–composed of the Alliance for Peacebuilding (AfP), Mercy Corps, Search for Common Ground, and CDA Collaborative—proposes to build on six years of work aimed at increasing the ability of the peacebuilding field to demonstrate impact and effectiveness. During this follow-on phase, PEC will shift its focus from the development of rigorous monitoring and evaluation (M&E) resources to a strategy to ensure that these tools are embraced, tested, and endorsed by a wide range of peacebuilding program leaders—and not siloed with technical M&E experts. PEC will also analyze the emerging substantive results of evaluations to inform better peacebuilding practices by working with NGOs, private foundations, intergovernmental organizations, bilateral donors, academics, and professional consulting firms to strengthen the uptake of peacebuilding M&E.
