The United States Institute of Peace is a premier peacebuilding organization. Congress founded USIP in 1984 as an independent nonprofit corporation dedicated to promoting peace by preventing, mitigating and resolving violent conflict abroad. For over 40 years, USIP has provided those working for peace with proven approaches, practical policy research and a platform to convene diverse stakeholders.

USIP’s staff work at the Institute’s Washington, DC headquarters and on the ground in some of the world’s most dangerous regions. In pursuit of its mission, the Institute: - Develops tools and resources based on research and offers expert trainings for peacebuilders, including U.S. and foreign peace negotiators, mediators, diplomats and others so they are better equipped to work together to end destabilizing conflicts. - Designs field-tested peacebuilding plans, analysis and strategic gaming exercises for U.S. and foreign practitioners. - Serves the public by connecting them with resources on America’s role, heritage and commitment to peace. - Sends peacebuilding specialists to work with counterparts around the world to reduce conflict and advance peace. In connection with its research, education and training activities, USIP hosts and engages with a range of stakeholders who are committed to working for peace or learning about nonviolent resolution of conflict, including members of Congress, religious leaders, students, veterans, and leaders from around the world.
