International Alert helps people find peaceful solutions to conflict. We are one of the world’s leading peacebuilding organisations, with 30 years of experience laying the foundations for peace. We work with local people around the world to help them better understand conflict and build peace. And we encourage governments, organisations and companies to adopt policies that support peace. We focus on key issues which affect peace and security, such as governance, the economy, gender relations, climate change and the role of international institutions and multinational corporations in high-risk regions.
