Company Description
Who we are
For over 30 years, International Alert has been working to build positive peace and reduce violence, working across conflict lines and with all parties to conflicts.
Experienced and respected, we have a proud track record of achieving change in fragile and conflict-affected countries and territories.
Vision
Our vision is a world where conflicts can be resolved without violence and people work together to support and sustain peace.
Purpose
Our purpose is to support a sustainable and inclusive end to violence. To fulfil this purpose, we:
- work with people directly affected by violence to support lasting solutions;
- advocate with them for the changes to policies, practices and behaviours that are required for peace to be inclusive and sustainable; and
- collaborate openly and in solidarity with all those striving for peace, to strengthen our common cause.
We base all our work on a deep understanding of the root causes of violence in each context, developed through long-term engagement. Our work draws on what we and others have learnt from decades of peacebuilding efforts.
Our strategy
Our strategy for 2024–2030, ‘Partners for peace’, sets out how we see International Alert’s contribution to building the more peaceful world that is so urgently needed.
We believe in global solidarity, and that international organisations such as Alert can be expressions of and partners for such solidarity. Our strategy therefore affirms and strengthens our commitment to working in partnership, collaboration and solidarity with all who strive for peace around the world.
We seek to be clear both on our own role and on the humility, thoughtfulness and lived commitment to equity that we must practise in playing it. In creating the strategy, we have challenged ourselves to think afresh about Alert’s role, structures and practices, confronting embedded power relations and assumptions.
