Safer world is an independent international organization working to prevent violent conflict and build safer lives.

We use this evidence and learning to improve local, national and international policies and practices that can help build lasting peace. We believe that efforts to prevent violent conflict should always be based on the local context and local needs.

Safer world has been working in Africa since 1997, with a primary focus upon East Africa and the Horn of Africa regions. We have well-established programs in Kenya, Uganda, Somalia and South Sudan. In addition, Safer world supports regional and international conflict prevention and security processes.

There will be a significant emphasis on learning from programming designed to challenge the gender norms that generate insecurity and conflict.
