International Alert is an independent peacebuilding organisation working in over twenty countries and territories around the world. We work with people affected by violent conflict as well as at government, EU and UN levels to shape both policy and practice in building sustainable peace. We also seek to raise public awareness of the issues involved in peacebuilding, aiming to help the sector increase its effectiveness and profile.

Our regional work is based in the African Great Lakes, West Africa, the Caucasus, Colombia, Sri Lanka, Nepal and the Philippines. Our advocacy work is focused on business, humanitarian aid and development, gender, security and post-conflict reconstruction. Our public awareness-raising is both in the UK and in countries affected by conflict.
