Building Strength Across Sectors to Mobilize Momentum for Peace
Shaping the Peacebuilding Field
AfP's dynamic network of 200+ peacebuilding organizations—from Minnesota to Mindanao—is the engine propelling peacebuilding partnerships worldwide. For 15+ years, AfP has expanded its network leadership role by breaking silos within the peacebuilding community, building bridges to national security decisionmakers and donors, and raising the bar of peacebuilding practice towards shared learning, evidence-based approaches, and greater impact.
Accelerating Collective Action Through Collaboration and Exchange
PeaceCon
On a daily basis, AfP convenes the peacebuilding field to break down sectoral silos, forge new partnerships with policymakers and donors, and put peace at the forefront of public discourse. These efforts culminate every year at PeaceCon, AfP's annual idea and action forum, hosted in partnership with the United States Institute of Peace. Now the largest global gathering of peacebuilders held in the United States, PeaceCon attracts a diverse spectrum of government, civil society, and private sector leaders united in purpose.
AfP is proud to announce PeaceCon 2023, Beyond Fragile Ground: New Peacebuilding Architectures for Today and the Future, taking place May 3-5th, 2023. At the 11th annual PeaceCon, the peacebuilding field will convene to examine how we must evolve and innovate, strengthen existing tools, and build new ones to meet increasing fragility and conflict amidst tectonic global geopolitical shifts.
