About PeacebuildingData.org
PeacebuildingData.org was developed to bridge the gap between peacebuilding policies designed by decision-makers and their practical implementation, reception, and impact at the local level. The project features rigorous quantitative and qualitative research co-designed and implemented with local communities in countries affected by mass violence. By using participatory and mixed methods, these population-based studies provide crucial data on the experiences and perspectives of those most directly impacted by atrocities, informing policy discussions on peace, social reconstruction, and accountability mechanisms. The results serve as a valuable tool for ongoing monitoring and evaluation, empowering local actors and enhancing the effectiveness of peacebuilding initiatives.
By strengthening local research capacities and generating robust evidence, we can foster more inclusive and responsive peacebuilding efforts.
PeacebuildingData.org is centered on ensuring that the experiences and needs of survivors are translated into actionable insights through data-driven peacebuilding strategies. Our theory of change is rooted in the belief that by strengthening local research capacities and generating robust evidence, we can foster more inclusive and responsive peacebuilding efforts. This data empowers communities, informs policy-makers, and enhances the ability of governments, UN agencies, and NGOs to develop interventions that are both contextually relevant and sustainable.
Since 2003, we have gathered data from over 250,000 survivors of violence across countries including Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Central African Republic, Cambodia, the Philippines, Côte d'Ivoire, Guatemala, Colombia, Ukraine, and Uganda.
The research on PeacebuildingData.org has been supported by grants from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, Humanity United, United Nations agencies, and other partners
