What we do

The Foundation has three Centers to realize its mission.

peace and security program

Center for Peace and Security

The Foundation’s peace and security program analyzes the state of peace and security in conflict-affected
and post-conflict countries to indicate the drivers of conflict and peace. Today, the complex, protracted, armed conflicts that exist in many parts of the world require a comprehensive security assessment including investigating the causes of traditional and nontraditional security issues. Our program focuses on identifying the causes of insecurities through research and analysis to propose policy recommendations for better peace and security. We promote national, regional, and international cooperation for peace and security through local, regional, and international dialogue.

Democracy and Development program

Center for Democracy and Development

The Foundation’s democracy and development program works to promote inclusive democracy and development where people can participate in social and political processes and hold service providers accountable. We will promote a vibrant society through freedom of speech, human rights, and resilience.
By connecting scholars, researchers, and practitioners across democracy and development platforms, we seek to enrich locally driven cultural understanding of democracy and development, enhance public and policy debate, and drive positive change. We ensure that all democracy and development programming is conflict, gender, and climate sensitive.

Center for Women in Policy

The Foundation’s Women in Policy program advances women's role in policy-making processes.  Our core mission is to strengthen the role of women in social and political decision-making and to build a dedicated network of women professionals in policy and practice. We offer specialized learning opportunities that equip women with critical analytical, research, and writing skills, enabling them to confidently engage in sectors such as security, economics, and governance. By connecting women scholars, researchers, and policy practitioners across cultures and disciplines, we provide a platform for meaningful dialogue, idea exchange, and collaborative action.
