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! During these times of record-breaking violent conflict, we know that peace doesn't just happen; we have to build it. AfP invites you all to become an AfP individual member so we can #MeetTheMoment. allianceforpeacebuilding.org/become-a-membe

At today’s HFAC hearing on the State Dept. reauthorization, Rep. Sara Jacobs notes the importance of ensuring the bipartisan #GFA is given the expertise, funding, & resources needed for its successful implementation, & Uzra Zeya notes how GFA has already modernized US foreign aid.

Did you know foreign aid supports the US economy? Each year, #USAID buys $2 billion worth of crops from American farmers to send overseas. Pausing foreign aid makes Americans less prosperous. www.allianceforpeacebuilding.org/afp-publicat... #UnfreezeAid #PausethePause

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: www.allianceforpeacebuilding.org/afp-publicat... #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 Our statement: www.allianceforpeacebuilding.org/afp-publicat...
