Strategic partnerships EIP actively expands collaboration with international actors and conferences (notably Munich Security Conference and Helvetas), signaling opportunities for co-hosted events, joint research, or joint mediation programs with aligned organizations.

EU-focused mediation As a Europe-centered yet globally scoped mediation hub, EIP presents a gateway for EU-aligned peacebuilding services, consulting, and capacity-building contracts that leverage EU mediation networks and multi-track diplomacy expertise.

Public sector alignment Recent leadership hires and governance activity in the security and peace domain, plus engagement with high-profile security forums, suggest potential for procurement of risk analysis, conflict sensitivity training, and program design for governance and resilience initiatives.

Smaller org potential With revenue under one million and a mid-size staff, EIP may value scalable, cost-effective solutions such as modular training programs, digital collaboration tools, monitoring and evaluation services, and family/office-friendly solutions that fit tight budgets.

Crisis and resilience focus EIP’s work integrating conflict sensitivity into resilience and livelihoods programs (e.g., Ethiopia) indicates demand for conflict-aware project management, stakeholder engagement, and impact assessment services in fragile or post-conflict contexts.
