Overview

The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) is the independent, nonpartisan conflict management center created by the U.S. Congress to prevent, mitigate and resolve international conflict without resorting to violence. USIP works to save lives, increase the government’s ability to deal with conflicts before they escalate, reduce government costs, and enhance our national security.

The Global Peacebuilding Center extends USIP’s educational work to new—especially younger—audiences, introducing them to key concepts and skills in conflict management and to the challenges and importance of peacebuilding.

Through multimedia exhibits, educational programs, and online resources and activities (see http://www.buildingpeace.org ), the Global Peacebuilding Center seeks to engage the next generation of peacebuilders.
