| The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems. -- Mahatma Gandhi |
Nonviolent Peaceforce works to achieve three overarching goals:
- To inform decision makers, opinion leaders, the public and public institutions, so as to build support for nonviolent intervention.
- To build the pool of people able to join peace teams through regional activities, training, and maintaining a roster of trained, available people.
- To deploy teams, learn from deployment projects and build a body of expertise on how to implement large scale nonviolent intervention.
 |
To achieve these goals, Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) works around the world to create and maintain deployment projects, to build the capacity for large scale peace work through training and engagement with our Member Organizations as well as regional activities, and to influence decision-making bodies worldwide. Currently, our deployment projects include Sri Lanka, Guatemala, and the Philippines, with planning for deployments in Colombia and Uganda. |
