swisspeace - the Swiss Peace Foundation is a practice and research institute located in Basel, Switzerland promoting effective peacebuilding.

Together with its partner organizations, swisspeace manages strategies and interventions to reduce violence and promote peace in conflict-affected contexts.

Through a blend of research and practical insights, the Foundation develops approaches to improve analysis, management and learning processes.

Dealing with the legacy of human rights violations and other crimes, also called transitional justice has thus become a central topic for swisspeace.

The Foundation seeks to pursue a holistic approach that was jointly developed with the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA).

Against this background, swisspeace offers companies assistance in identifying conflict-related risks of their operations and in adapting their business practices accordingly.

It organizes an annual conference uniting representatives from economics, politics, science and society to think about peace and to further innovation in peacebuilding.
