The Berghof Foundation is an independent, non-governmental and non-profit organisation that supports efforts to prevent political and social violence, and achieve sustainable peace through conflict transformation.
[2] The Berghof Foundation strives to support processes that seek to transform violent and destructive conflicts into nonviolent social and political exchanges.
[13] Currently, there are projects in the following regions: Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East and North Africa, Latin America and Europe: Current projects include Berghof's support towards Afghan-driven efforts to resolve the protracted conflict and to restore resilient and sustainable peace in close cooperation with the German Federal Foreign Office.
These projects include “From female combatants to post-war democratic leaders”, “Security doctrines in a changing world” and “Supporting women in RLMs (Resistance Liberation Movements) in peace processes and transitions”.
[19] In 2019, the Streitkultur 3.0 project was awarded the “Wirkt-Siegel” seal by the German non-profit PHINEO for its work on addressing how young people can identity hate speech and fake news on the internet.
[23][24] Furthermore, the Berghof Foundation is involved in a project funded by the EU and implemented by Search for common ground and Interpeace to support national efforts for peace and stability in Burundi, Zimbabwe, and Niger.
[25] Berghof's projects aim at supporting the actors and institutions of the region, as well as the efforts to overcome political and societal divisions through inclusive dialogue processes and consensus-building.
