Tools 4 Peace
Tools 4 Peace
Conflict is a necessary part of daily life, and we all have to deal with it. The skill lies in HOW we deal with it. Tools for Peace contains the 'tried and trusted' methods used by wise, experienced people all over the world to transform the conflicts they face into opportunities. These tools work just as effectively in our families and communities as they do in situations of extreme violence and civil war. They also work within ourselves, which is where peace begins.

GPBS
The Global Peace Building Strategy is unprecedented. Until now the world has had no method that systematically deals with violent conflict. To fill this void, experienced peace builders from across the globe have got together with government officials, civil society and the military to design a strategy that could prevent war and resolve violent conflict. This strategy works at all levels – from the bottom up and top down – and deliberately supports young people, women and local peace builders as well as governments and the United Nations - to work together to end the bloodiest century in human history.

The Arms Deal campaign - asking for a 10 percent tax on the global arms trade
The Campaign is calling for governments of arms producing companies to levy a 10 percent tax on the profit that is made from international arms exports. By contributing to the achievement of the UN Millennium Development Goals the funds resulting from the tax would help rebuild the lives of those around the world that have suffered from the devastating international arms trade, reduce conflict and poverty, promote peace, and strengthen human security. -
Expert Consultative Process on Preventing Armed Conflict
This Objective envisions seeking expert input to contribute to moving the international community away from conditions of peace that are accidental, temporary, or left to chance, by replacing the current lack of strategic thinking with methodologies by which collective security is reasoned and analyzed. We hope to initiate an era of planned peace building in which stability is sustainable and replicable rather than a hiatus between cycles of violence. This can be achieved in part by bringing top thinkers together to consider key issues and gaps in the current peace building landscape. This objective offers a methodology for bringing these experts together by convening an expert consultative process to help lead towards a more integrated peace building agenda. The consultations will provide a focused, targeted vehicle for urgently-needed expert input. This process will create a mechanism by which the world’s leading thinkers on conflict prevention can be brought together for issue-specific sessions on unresolved questions to produce concrete recommendations. -
Establish a Global Forum on Multi-stakeholder Engagement on Peacebuilding
The world lacks an overall systems approach to peacebuilding – one that includes all stakeholders and addresses the capacities, tools, structures, and institutions needed to build sustainable peace. A structured international Engagement among stakeholders on key Peacebuilding issues, is rarely taking place in the field of Peacebuilding. Rather, Governments, civil society, UN agencies, and the military are mainly working within their own constituencies and cultures. Therefore, a Global Forum of this nature is relevant and timely. Conflicts, multi-facetted as they are, need input from different stakeholders, with complementary skills and from different perspectives. The Global Forum will provide an opportunity for these exchanges of input and perspectives. We propose the establishment of a Global Forum that will regularly organise, perhaps on a yearly basis, a Multi-stakeholder Engagement on Peacebuilding among the different stakeholders working on the main peacebuilding issues. -
Conflict transformation through Young People
The mission of Objective 4 of the GPBS is to invest in a more peaceful future by helping to build a critical mass of young people across the globe with peace building skills, by bringing Conflict Transformation Programmes and Peace Building Skills to young people globally. Supporting young people is essential for long term peace: young people will shape the future. -
Supporting ten countries to build national Infrastructures for Peace by 2016
The mission of this objective is to: Support the establishment of well-functioning national Infrastructures for Peace in ten countries by 2016, in close cooperation with national governments, civil society organisations and UNDP-BCPR – Primary goal; Support processes aimed at establishing Infrastructures for Peace in another fifteen countries, by 2021 – Secondary goal. -
About time: women at every peace table
The mission is to undertake in-depth research in collaboration with international and local women’s organizations to understand and profile the skills women need in these roles. With this understanding develop teams of suitably qualified and representative women who will be sustained by mentors and training programs. Campaigning to ensure their inclusion in peace negotiations is key and will involve high level dialogue, press and public engagement and NGO support in holding governments to account. Our work will be building one of the essential pillars needed for the creation of national Infrastructures for Peace, a systematic and holistic peace architecture built at all levels to prevent violent conflict. Initial work will focus on Ghana, Kenya, South Sudan, Egypt, Libya and Nepal. -
The Global Fund for Local Peace
