The European Centre for Conflict Prevention is a non-governmental organisation that promotes effective conflict prevention and peacebuilding strategies, and actively supports and connects people who work for peace worldwide.

We envisage a world in which people are able and willing to prevent and transform violent conflicts peacefully.

We believe in:

- a multi-track approach
- the importance of local capacities for peace
- partnerships with local organisations
- long-term engagement
- impartiality

The European Centre for Conflict Prevention holds the secretariat for the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict. As the secretariat, the ECCP provides services to the network proactively. It coordinates and supports its activities with particular attention to priority programmatic areas. For more information about other Networks that the ECCP is involved in, please visit our Networks section.
