Yesterday, in partnership with @CIVICUSalliance, AfP
hosted a panel discussion at Peace Connect on how #peacebuilders can successfully navigate working in highly restricted civic spaces.

As part of the Building Peace Economies at Scale initiative, AfP hosted a powerful conversation with Brian T. Abrams and Shane Ray Martin of B Ventures to explore how venture capital and peace tech can build markets that prioritize stability, inclusion, and resilience.

📅We are thrilled to be co-hosting a session entitled “Navigating Local Peacebuilding Under Shrinking Civic Space” at Peace Connect!

In partnership with @CIVICUSalliance, our panel discussion will focus on how peacebuilders can successfully navigate working in highly restricted civic spaces.

AfP wishes you all a happy International Day of Peace!

Resuming foreign aid is not just the right thing for the U.S. to do—it is the smart thing to do. W/global violent conflict at an all-time high, resuming foreign aid is key to making the world & Americans safer.

Statement:

#UnfreezeAid #PausethePause

Stopping U.S. foreign aid makes America—& the world—less safe, less secure & less prosperous. The stop-work order on U.S. foreign assistance is a wrecking ball approach that will increase global chaos & war. #UnfreezeAid #PausethePause
