Peacebuilding Analysis & Impact

Intervening in fragile and conflict-affected settings poses numerous challenges for international development and peacebuilding actors. Such contexts are often characterized by multiple emergencies, a volatile security situation, and frequently changing allegiances and power relationships. These are generally difficult to read for outsiders. The need to "do something" is high, as is the risk to "do harm" by interventions that do not pay sufficient attention to the exigencies of the existing fragile context.

The main aim of this program is to contribute to an improved analysis, strategy development, and Monitoring & Evaluation practice by supporting organizations to assess and ultimately increase the effectiveness and positive impact of their peacebuilding interventions. swisspeace helps donors, governmental and non-governmental organizations to design, implement and evaluate conflict-sensitive and effective country strategies, programs and projects.
