INTRODUCTION
The Evolution of Peace
Innovative Collaborations
PEACEBUILDING 3.0
Peace is a simple idea,
but a complex reality
A growing number of our
members come to us from
outside the traditional
peacebuilding field,
representing the varied
perspectives necessary to
create resilient peace.
Convening the Field
Peace is more than
simply the absence
of war:
peace is a positive concept,
integrating structural and
process elements that can be
built, measured, and tailored
to fit the infinitely changing
needs of societies in
transition.
Shaping the Conversation
A First-Ever Human
Security Curriculum
HUMAN SECURITY
“Security doesn’t
land in a helicopter.
It grows from the
ground up.”
“A strategy of peace is
superior to a national security
strategy because peace is
innately more strategic than
security. It lends to more
appropriate comprehensive,
collaborative, connective, and
coordinated approaches to
the whole-of-society
challenges and opportunities
of our times.”
–Christopher Holshek and
Melanie Greenberg, Toward a
New Strategy of Peace

A Year of Challenge and Growth
THE NEW DEAL FOR ENGAGEMENT IN FRAGILE STATES
“Responsive and accountable
institutions of governance
are critical to overcoming
the sense of injustice,
vulnerability and exclusion
that can fuel social
discontent.”

to the Fore
POLICYMAKER ENGAGEMENT
A real victory for the
peacebuilding community —
and the world — is the
inclusion of a whole stream
of work on peaceful and just
societies. The recognition
that development cannot
occur without peace is a
central theme of the new
SDGs, and a breakthrough in
creating a holistic set of
goals.

Storytelling at the
2014 Annual Conference
The overall level of violence
against women was a better
predictor of state peacefulness,
compliance with international
treaty obligations, and relations
with neighboring countries than
indicators measuring the level
of democracy, level of wealth,
and civilizational identity of the
state.”

LEARNING AND EVALUATION
AfP is leading our community
to establish the kind of rigor in
peacebuilding that we see in
related fields, such as public health
and the environment, to ensure
that peace moves beyond an idea
into reality.

Have We Made the World
More Peaceful?
“Grantmakers have long
wrestled with the challenge of
evaluating the impact of the
projects they support. This is
especially true in the inherently
complex and multidimensional
peacebuilding field, which often
deals, literally, with matters of
life and death. The PEC has
broken new ground in this field,
and provided invaluable
assistance to both practitioners
and grantmakers, alike, in their
efforts to promote peace,”
