Based on its strong foundation in education and research, the United States Institute of Peace is increasingly engaged on the ground in conflict zones abroad seeking to apply what has been learned in order to prevent conflict, to meet the enormous challenges of postconflict stabilization, and to derive further lessons that will improve future conflict management efforts. The Institute provides technical assistance and critical conflict management tools and resources within an integrated framework that draws on all Institute programs to:
  • Facilitate dialogue among ethnic and religious groups to prevent violence;

  • Train local and national political and civil society leaders in conflict management skills;

  • Provide technical assistance on constitution-making, transitional justice, property disputes, and other rule of law issues;

  • Support civil society development through information, training, and grants;

  • Encourage efforts to reform education systems distorted by war and to design conflict management curricula; and

  • Develop options for peacekeeping and maintaining public security as well as meeting other postconflict challenges.
