Peace Direct is a mid-sized non-profit based in London, England. It centers its work on local communities, asserting that those closest to conflict have the power to prevent, resolve, and heal violence. Its mission is to help these communities take ownership of their peace-building efforts and reduce dependence on external aid. The organization also publishes Peace Insight, a resource that provides information on local peace-building organisations operating in areas affected by conflict. Within the non-profit sector, Peace Direct promotes locally led approaches to peace and advocates for development that prioritises the views and leadership of people in affected countries over outsiders. Its work supports communities and the local organisations that operate there by sharing information and context to strengthen locally empowered solutions.
