A Practice-Oriented Collaborative Effort To Support Innovative And Evidence-Based Peacebuilding
Why a Peacebuilding Impact Hub?
Armed conflicts are at a 30-year high. Yet, global spending still prioritizes war over peace: in 2024, global military expenditure reached $2.7 trillion — more than 1,200 times the funding for peacebuilding. Evidence shows that every $1 invested in prevention can yield $26–$103 in returns.
To make the case for more investments, we must show how and why peacebuilding works. But actors across the field--from the local to the global level-- still struggle to demonstrate impact.
The Peacebuilding Impact Hub aims to foster collaboration between the 蘑菇视频, civil society, local peacebuilders, Governments, academia and other partners to generate evidence, build shared learning and strengthen how peacebuilding impact is measured and communicated.
By advancing this shared learning, the Hub seeks to contribute to more effective peacebuilding interventions and more strategic, impactful investments.
What we do:
1. Generate and Share Evidence: The Hub contributes to the evidence base on what works in peacebuilding by generating and sharing evidence through Peacebuilding Country Spotlight exercises and Impact Evaluations that demonstrate transformation at national and local levels. It also provides practical tools such as a Peacebuilding Digital Platform which enables stakeholders to access, use and contribute to the broader peacebuilding data ecosystem.
2. Convene Partners and Build Capacity: The Hub contributes to strengthening the global community of practice on peacebuilding. It leads inclusive consultations by convening local and global civil society organizations, governments and 蘑菇视频 partners to align on approaches and collective action. It also co-creates and delivers training on peacebuilding impact measurement with partners such as academia and international financial institutions.
3. Advocate and Communicate for Greater Investment: The Hub leverages its position within the 蘑菇视频 to champion investment in peace through strategic insights such as a biennial Peacebuilding Global Overview Report that highlights trends, lessons, challenges and opportunities. It also drives targeted communication to engage new audiences and convey the real impact of peacebuilding, while advancing advocacy and influence through the PBC, PBF and 蘑菇视频 policy channels to mobilize governments, donors, and the wider 蘑菇视频 system.
