Finance & Accountability
Funding
The Peacemakers Network, to date, is financially supported by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland, Finn Church Aid, KAICIID Dialogue Centre and the Sultanate of Oman. In addition, the Peacemakers Network is significantly supported by in-kind contributions by several Network members and other external funders. The funds are channeled to Peacemakers Network activities through the Secretariat hosted by the Finn Church Aid.
The Secretariat of the Peacemakers Network adheres to the principles of the financial accountability of FCA. The principles of FCA include operating according to good governance and accounting practices, the responsible and open use of resources in accordance with good management practices, risk assessment, and the principles of sustainable development. FCA is the legal entity of the Network.
The Peacemakers Network continues developing partnerships with a range of international donors to strengthen its activities and enhance its performance towards rights holders and duty bearers. For information on supporting the Peacemakers Network, please contact the Secretariat.
Do No Harm and Conflict Sensitivity
Even the best-intentioned efforts to mitigate conflicts and build peace entail the risk of inadvertently causing harm to the societies involved. Over time, the world has developed approaches designed to minimize that risk, including the Do No Harm principle and an awareness of Conflict Sensitivity. For the Peacemakers Network, these two are cross-cutting issues. To address them, members emphasize careful planning and analysis to ensure that peacemaking and broader peacebuilding efforts have the desired impact: to reduce causes of division and enhance sources of unity and local capacities for building peace. A conflict-sensitive approach is an essential tool in achieving the Peacemakers Network’s strategic objectives because it helps to accomplish goals more quickly and contributes to peace outcomes that are sustainable, inclusive and just.
