Background
International Alert is a 30-year old
independent peacebuilding organisation. We work with people who are directly
affected by violent conflict to improve their prospects of peace. And we seek


to influence the policies and ways of working of governments, international
organisations and agencies, business firms and economical actors, to reduce
conflict risk and increase the prospects of peace. We work in Africa, in
several parts of Asia, South Caucasus, and Middle East and in Latin America and
have recently started work in UK. Our policy work focuses on several key themes
that influence prospects for peace and security:

  • Economic
    issues and sustainable development,
  • Climate
    change and environmental protection,
  • Gender,
  • Role
    of international institutions, and impact of development aid,
  • Governance
    and accountability.
