Effective Peacebuilding Initiative

Gathering Evidence Program - EPIs Gathering Evidence Program builds the foundation for effective peacebuilding by systematically identifying, analyzing, and codifying successful conflict prevention and resolution interventions. Through initiatives like the Peace Activities Dataset, conflict-intervention mapping, and partner-led research collaborations, we generate practical insights into what works across diverse contexts. Our rigorous, field-informed approach ensures that peacebuilding strategies are rooted in real-world evidence, not assumptions. This growing body of knowledge empowers decision-makers, funders, and practitioners to allocate resources more effectively and achieve greater impact.

Supporting Critical Partners - Armed Conflict Location and Event Data (ACLED) and EPI are collaborating on Phase 1 of the Peace Agreement and Ceasefire Tracker (PACT) project to link ACLEDs conflict data with data on global peace activities, beginning with a case study in South Sudan. ACLED will lead the development of a data linkage framework, integrate peace agreement data, and pilot data collection with local partners, supported by $255,00 in funding from EPI.
