PeaceLab: Business for peacemaking

Businesses can exert huge influence over conflict stakeholders by forging close ties with various conflict parties. These relationships can either bolster or undermine peacemaking efforts. Yet peacemakers often lack the practical insights to identify, manage, and engage with business actors in the pursuit of peace.

This PeaceLab explores how the private sector can be best leveraged for peace. In exchange with multinationals and businesses from conflict-affected contexts, the goal of this PeaceLab is to identify incentives for businesses to support peace processes and to develop strategies that enable productive partnerships.
