Criteria(Please refer to the website for criteria and details)
Organisations can apply for one of two types of support: 1. Organisational development support to ensure a strategic and operational adaptation to current political and funding realities while strengthening their commitment to locally-led peacebuilding. See our organisational development support process here. https://peacenexus.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Organisational-Development-Process-Peace-Nexus-2.pdf
Our support on both strands is geared towards helping international organisations and networks that champion localisation to enable those affected by conflict to lead the way in building sustainable peace. It aims to ensure that important and timely decisions on organisational adaptation and collaboration are informed by joint analysis and mutual learning.
