Members and Supporters
Join a network of over 115 organizations around the world that seek to support new ways of strengthening the positive engagement of religious and traditional peacemakers in peace and peacebuilding processes. The Peacemakers Network supports collaborative work and engagement. Working collaboratively is more than just the intersection of common goals – it involves engaged, collective determination to reach shared objectives of collaboratively supporting the positive role of religious and traditional actors.
The strength of the Peacemakers Network is in cooperation. The Peacemakers Network is formed from an array of actors, including inter-and-intra-governmental agencies, regional bodies, academic institutions, international and national organizations, civil society, and most importantly, religious and traditional peacemakers.
How To Get Involved
The added value of becoming a member of the Peacemakers Network is threefold. First, your organization is at the top of our list for consortium projects, advocacy initiatives, research, and funding opportunities. As the Network Secretariat learns of funding or professional development opportunities, we seek regional and thematic expertise from the membership. Second, access to networking opportunities. Active participation in the thematic and regional working groups is an opportunity to connect with members, supporters, and partners in the peacebuilding space. Regions have additional initiatives, including the African membership meet-up that gathers quarterly and the Asia Working Group small grants. Lastly, the Peacemakers Network hosts an annual gathering in person, called the Advisory Group Meeting (AGM), where members gather to network, share their work, and attend capacity-sharing and training sessions. At the AGM, members vote on rotating Steering Group members, and every five years, members participate in the strategy development process and vote to validate the five-year strategy.
To stay up to date on emerging opportunities, follow the Peacemakers Network on social media and subscribe to our newsletter at the bottom of the page.
