This £2m international network led by Aberystwyth supports research that explores how violence against civilians can be deterred or prevented by civilians without the use of force.

It helps strengthen civilian capacities to create safer space for local peacebuilding in conflict-affected communities in Cameroon, Colombia, Indonesia, Kenya, Myanmar, Nigeria, Palestine, the Philippines, South Sudan, and Thailand.
