CSO ALLIANCE
The CSO Alliance is the heart of the JustPeace Association—a space for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and collective action among civil society organisations (CSOs) from across the globe.
Here, members share experiences, identify common challenges, and co-develop solutions informed by their lived realities. The Alliance also shapes the strategies and policies of the Association, ensuring that its direction remains grounded in community-driven priorities. Members play a key role in designing and leading projects in partnership with the Hubs.
POLICIES AND STRATEGIES
JustPeace thrives on collective leadership. The Alliance provides strategic guidance to uphold the autonomy of the Association and its members while strengthening principles of equitable collaboration among CSOs. Recognising the diverse histories, governance structures, and social realities of its members—many of whom navigate the burdens of colonial legacies and systemic injustices—the Alliance values the transformative power of collaboration between organisations from across the globe.
The Alliance co-develops shared frameworks for project management, ensuring that initiatives are community-led and uphold principles of accountability, transparency, and ethical engagement. This includes participatory financial management, evaluation, reporting, staff well-being and security, and anti-corruption measures—centering approaches that reflect the lived realities and priorities of its members.
MEMBERSHIP
Alliance members are civil society organisations that are deeply embedded in the communities they serve. As non-profit entities, they work in the public interest, often playing a crucial role in bridging dialogue between communities and public institutions.
Members are committed to autonomy and integrity, particularly in conflict and post-conflict contexts, ensuring that their work remains independent from political and external influence while being responsive to community needs.
