Theory of Change

Sustaining peace after violence has stopped and a peace agreement has been signed requires a long-term process of societal transformation. While the process must be led by national actors through broad platforms of collaboration, international actors can support a conducive space for such efforts.  Conducive international engagement has proved a challenging endeavour.

The theory of change of this initiative is that by creating innovative processes for joint thinking and action and support change agents engaging in systemic transformation, it is possible to develop new ways of providing international support and of collaboration between national and international actors in conflict affected contexts. This will have concrete positive results for sustaining peace in concrete country affected context and will have a transformative effect on the broader system for peace support.
