“Building bridges across diverse sectors, and developing innovative technologies and tools for policy makers. A leader in the conflict assessment and early warning field, the fund for peace focuses on the problems of weak and failing states. Its objective is to create practical tools and approaches for conflict mitigation that are useful to decision- makers.”

“International organizations, governments/multilateral institutions and corporations, & multistakeholder - the fund for peace was an early leader in cross-sectional collaboration in attempting to better understand and address human rights challenges in regard to the deployment of security forces in the oil, gas, and mining industries. This began with the human rights and business roundtable, a multistakeholder initiative geared towards better echange and communication between companies, civil society, and governments in attempting to fund solutions to pressing human rights concerns. The roundtable, which celebrates its 27th anniversary this year, contributed to the voluntary principles on security and human rights, an international initiative in which ffp continues to lead civil society in creating practical approaches to integrating security and human rights opolicy and practice into company operations. This has also led ffp to provide bilateral support to companies in the oil, gas, mining, agribusiness, construction, infrastructure, and renewable energy sectors to give advice and practical tools to improve company operations and in doing so better protect communities. Multilateral institutions have further enlisted ffp's support to provide guidance and training to investments on these issues the world over.”

“Philanthropic foundations, governments and public foundations, and corporate foundations - the fund for peace has a number of programs that seek to use unique and innovative methodologies to better understand conflict dynamics, and then with that improved understanding bring together diverse stakeholder groups to find practical peacebuilding solutions. For over 19 years, ffp has produced the fragile states index, an annual ranking of social, economic, and political pressure in 179 countries worldwide. The index is then used by policy makers, practitioners, academics, civil society organizations, and journalists in making better informed decisions with regard to political risk and resourcing humanitarian development. Ffp also provides training on these methodologies to practitioners from government, multilateral institutions, and civil society who in turn improve their own assessment capacity and understanding of conflict dynamics. At a national level, ffp trains local civil society groups on understanding and reporting conflict, and with that knowledge, builds local networks that then focus on mitigating conflict when it erupts. These programs also attempt to harness the latest cutting edge technology, such as using conflict and systems mapping. Ffp also focuses on specific vulnerable groups, employing similar methodologies to provide communities with the tools to prevent violence against women and girls.”
