Peace Direct US

Peace Direct is an international non-governmental organization working with local peacebuilders and other allies to shift power and resources for sustainable peace. Peace Direct works to raise the profile of local peacebuilding actors and advocates for systemic changes to the peacebuilding and wider international sectors through our direct support to local peacebuilding efforts in 14 countries worldwide, coupled with consultations with local peacebuilders, evidence and learning from research, policy advocacy and partner visits. We advocate for our peacebuilding partners by encouraging decision makers to recognize the power in the hands of local peacebuilders. Peace Direct has also been at the forefront of thinking about how the international community, including policymakers and INGOs need reform, including how to tackle structural racism. 

Peace Direct has offices in London, the Hague and Washington, DC with representation at the UN. It is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit, public charity and an ECOSOC-accredited NGO at the United Nations.
