What Snaga lokalnog - Mreža za izgradnju mira does

Snaga lokalnog - Mreža za izgradnju mira (Peace Building Network) is a non-governmental, non-profit civil society organization established in February 2010 and headquartered in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Legally registered as "Udruženje mreža za izgradnju mira," it operates as a coordinating network of civil society organizations working on peacebuilding, human rights, inter-ethnic reconciliation, and civic engagement in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina. The organization serves member CSOs, youth, women and gender equality advocates, and the broader public, addressing fragmented civil society efforts, limited youth participation in peace processes, exclusion of women from peace negotiations, and institutional dysfunction through community coordination, advocacy, and capacity-building.

The organization delivers on its mission through three core products: a comprehensive news and resource portal (mreza-mira.net) that aggregates opportunities, scholarships, jobs, and peacebuilding news; the "Snaga lokalnog" documentary series, comprising 32 short films showcasing local community peacebuilding stories; and the annual "Mirovna nagrada Goran Bubalo" peace prize recognizing individuals contributing to peace, justice, and human rights. There is no proprietary technology product; the value proposition rests on coordination, content, and convening rather than software.

The revenue model is donor-driven and project-based. The organization is funded through grants and projects from international donors and development agencies, including UN Women, IOM, UNFPA, UNDP, the UN Peacebuilding Fund, the Danish International Development Agency (Danida), and other bilateral/institutional partners. Operationally, the network employs 12 staff and distributes its work through a multi-channel digital presence (website, Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, daily newsletter), public events, roundtables, and joint program implementation with member organizations and international partners.
