Alert works all across the world, click on a region to find out more...
International Alert works in countries and regions that are experiencing
armed conflict, facing the threat of it, or trying to deal with
its aftermath. Peace cannot be made on behalf of people in war-torn
and war-threatened territories but work can be done to equip individuals,
organisations and communities with the knowledge and skills that
will radically improve their chances of avoiding violence.
We do this through bringing together in dialogue groups and people
who are divided by conflict in order to improve mutual understanding
and identify new solutions to persistent problems. We also accompany
partner organisations in conflict zones through peace processes,
building their capacities to build lasting peace through offering
training, advice and support.
Our work is based on careful and continuing analysis of each situation
and it is therefore part of our approach to gain an understanding
of the root causes of conflict in the regions where we work by learning
from those who live and work in the region. We then work to ensure
that the perspectives and priorities of our local partners are represented
at the highest international policy levels.
Our work in countries affected or threatened by conflict is in
the Great Lakes region of Africa,
West Africa, the
Caucasus and Central Asia, Latin
America and Asia.
