International Alert

International Alert helps people find peaceful solutions to conflict. They are one of the world’s leading peace-building organizations, with nearly 40 years of experience laying foundations for peace.

The International Alert works with local people around the world to help them better understand conflict and build peace. And they encourage governments, organizations and companies to adopt policies that support peace. International Alert focuses on key issues which affect peace and security, such as governance, the economy, gender relations, climate change, and the role of international institutions and multinational corporations in high-risk regions.

Creating the conditions for peace must be a collective global effort cannot wait!

Climate shocks, economic instability, and growing humanitarian needs are deeply intertwined with rising violence. Conflict both drives and is driven by this cycle, undermining sustainable development and threatening progress – especially for communities in fragile contexts and organisations supporting them.
But humanitarian, development and climate programmes can successfully tackle these challenges at their roots if they proactively work towards peace. Our new practice notes show how peacebuilding tools and approaches enhance impact, strengthen resilience, and deliver lasting change across development finance, climate action, and humanitarian aid.
