Principles for Peace

What Principles for Peace does

Principles for Peace Foundation (P4P) is an independent, Geneva-headquartered think-and-do tank operating as a Swiss non-profit foundation with 19 employees. The organization's mission is to advance legitimate, durable peace through a portfolio of five principal assets: (1) the eight Principles for Peace framework and associated thought leadership; (2) measurement and diagnostic tools including the AI-powered Peace Navigator, Feedback Loop, and Participatory Periodic Reviews for Peace (PPRP); (3) simulations and incubation spaces; (4) country accompaniment and coalition-building, including direct engagement in Palestine, Somalia, Philippines-Bangsamoro, and Syria, plus support for the Uniting for a Shared Future (USF) coalition of 550+ Israeli-Palestinian leaders; and (5) discreet political convening through the Geneva Architecture for Peace and Security (GAPS).

The Peace Navigator Platform is the core technology asset, an AI-powered web product built on Firebase Authentication, Google Cloud infrastructure, and third-party OpenAI / Azure OpenAI APIs that retrieves and synthesizes publicly available peace-related data into a chatbot interface for policymakers and practitioners. Supporting products (Feedback Loop, PPRP) implement a three-tiered measurement methodology that monitors country trends, runs participatory stakeholder reviews, and feeds course-correction back into peace processes.

P4P's business model is donor-funded rather than commercial: the organization receives institutional grants from entities including the German Federal Foreign Office (GFFO), Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), and individual donations routed through CAF America. All frameworks, tools, and accompaniment services are provided free of charge to conflict-affected states, civil society, and practitioners. In July 2026, P4P announced it will assume the incoming Secretariat role for the International Dialogue on Peacebuilding and Statebuilding (IDPS), becoming the first non-UN, non-governmental host of that intergovernmental forum, with handover from UNDP scheduled at year-end.
