‘Building Peace from the Inside’ was a European Union-funded project that started in 2020 and was implemented by Search for Common Ground (Search), Berghof Foundation and Interpeace, together with the Conflict Alert and Prevention Center (CENAP) in Burundi, Africa University – Institute for Peace Leadership and Governance (IPLG) in Zimbabwe, and Search’s office in Niger.
The project aimed to both support capacity strengthening of insider mediators (IMs) in Burundi, Niger, and Zimbabwe, and to strengthen the collaboration between IMs and global policy actors to advance the international understanding, recognition of, and support for insider mediation. Insider mediators are a key asset to address local conflicts before they become flashpoints, and their engagement in international and national peace processes should become a fundamental norm.
