For over 23 years, International Alert has been the UK’s leading peacebuilding charity working in Africa, Asia and the Caucasus. We support local communities that have been affected by violent conflict to improve their prospects for a peaceful future and at the same time, work with governments and other decision-makers (e.g. EC, UN, the African Union) to improve policy and practice.When a war ends, the threat of violence doesn’t go away. And while insecurity remains, development work alone is not effective; you can build a school, but while children don’t feel safe they’ll be too afraid to attend. Only when there is peace, can a country take steps to lift itself out of poverty.
In every conflict there are local people building peace. Peace Direct funds and promotes their work.
