HUBS
JustPeace Hubs are collaborative spaces designed to support locally led initiatives through facilitating resource mobilisation, project support, and knowledge exchange. The first Hub has been established as a non-profit, non-governmental organisation (gGmbH) in Berlin.
It is planned to establish new Hubs in different regions with the approval of the JustPeace Alliance and in alignment with shared principles. Rather than imposing rigid standards, those involved collaborate to shape ways of working that reflect both global commitments to justice and the specific needs of each context.
STRUCTURE
Although additional Hubs are yet to be established, they are intended to operate as legally distinct entities, each possessing its own legal personality under the laws of the country in which it is registered.
Hubs will be required to comply with standards developed by the JustPeace Association, ensuring alignment with the Association’s overarching principles and commitments.
They will also be able to undertake project fundraising and management, provided these activities fall within the broad scope of the JustPeace Association’s values and framework.
METHODOLOGY
CSOs, community leaders, and local knowledge holders are at the centre of defining project themes, goals, and approaches. Hubs work in solidarity with local partners and provide support where needed to ensure that processes remain context-sensitive and grounded in locally informed methodologies.
Quality is supported through context-sensitive methodologies co-developed with local partners, participatory approaches to analysis, multi-disciplinary programming, and community-led evaluation processes. JustPeace prioritises approaches that centre structural analysis, power shifts, and locally rooted forms of knowledge production.
NEW HUBS
Any member of the JustPeace Association, may propose the establishment of a new Hub.
The feasibility of new Hubs will be assessed collaboratively, with substantive input from local and regional partners, ensuring that new Hubs align with local needs, priorities, and leadership structures, while also contributing to the broader principles of the Association.
If the results are positive, JustPeace will provide support and facilitation throughout the process of establishing the new Hub, ensuring that local ownership and leadership are prioritised from the outset.
