The Peace and Security Initiative (PSI) seeks to foster an environment in which organizations are encouraged and enabled to work together in new ways and with new tools. Organizations within the peace and security community (NGOs and funders) are polled in the autumn to identify those issues that have the highest potential for effective collaboration in the following year.
Please note that the identified “Community Priorities” refer to those opportunities where appropriate collaboration across different sectors of the peace and security community (e.g., think tanks, advocacy organizations, and the grassroots) can result in increased impact on policy outcomes. These “Community Priorities” will be supported by the PSI in different ways while taking into account the nature of the issues and efforts already underway in terms of collaborative action. The priority issues chosen by the community are not the only issues ripe for collaborative action. Our hope is that by engaging in the collaborative processes surrounding the priority issues, members of the community will be able to apply similar practices to other urgent issues as well.
Note: The four documents below also serve as a resource for identifying potential partners on a variety of peace and security issues (see appendices that list by issue those organizations who consider the issue a priority).
