Peace Direct is an international NGO that supports local peacebuilding in conflict zones worldwide. It has affiliates in the UK, USA and Germany, and programmes in 11 countries.

Peace Direct believes that local people have the power to find their own solutions to conflict. Its mission is to help them to make this happen.

Local people are the key to preventing, resolving and healing conflicts. They are the best way to break recurrent cycles of violence and make peace last. And increasingly they want to move away from depending on outside help, towards building their own futures.

Peace Direct helps this strategic shift, and adds value to their efforts on the ground. Firstly, It raises funds for their programmes and offers management support and advice. Secondly, It builds recognition for their work, to put them in touch with those in the wider world who can assist with funds and influence. And thirdly, It promotes the concept of locally led peacebuilding to the international community, so that others will adopt its approach too.
