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.
