Research

For over 20 years, ALLMEP’s research and analysis activities have been at the core of all of our work — to inform and educate key stakeholders about building support for peace from the bottom-up, to engage with policymakers and philanthropists, to amplify peacebuilders’ inspiring voices and work, and to strengthen and coordinate projects in the field.
In 2024, ALLMEP established a new research department, headed by Dr. Natali Levin Schwartz, to enhance these efforts and generate robust data to fuel our advocacy, communications, and member services. Moreover, all of this research will help feed the peacebuilding field and diplomatic community with the insights and fresh data that can ensure programs and investments reach their full potential. This new department comes at a moment when the stakes– and opportunity for shaping new emerging dynamics– have never been greater.

- Measuring and expanding its impact
- Opportunities for strategic investments
- Role of women in peacebuilding
- Role of alumni as leaders and constituents for peace
