Welcome to the Peacebuild Web site

Peacebuild, formerly the Canadian Peacebuilding Coordinating Committee, is a network of Canadian non-governmental organizations and institutions, academics and individuals engaged in a wide range of activities related to addressing the causes and consequences of violent conflict. The Peacebuild network currently has 70 members.

Peacebuild is unique as a civil society mechanism for dialogue with government departments and international stakeholders on issues related to violent conflict. It bridges and enriches non-governmental and governmental dialogue and interaction to strengthen Canadian policy options and practice.

Specifically, Peacebuild's activities aim to:

1. Increase interaction among and between civil society actors and government involved in peacebuilding activities;
2. Contribute to knowledge generation and sharing within Canada and globally;
3. Increase cooperation in joint programming at all levels; and
4. Increase overall effectiveness of peacebuilding interventions.
