Our Story

Innovations in Peacebuilding International (IPI) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that accompanies and invests in locally-led peace efforts in war-afflicted countries through partnerships, education, networking, and research. 

Our History: IPI was founded in 2009 by Dr. Charles Davidson with the mission to affect sustainable change in war-affected areas. Since its inception, IPI has grown from a one-person operation with help from volunteers to a global community, having affected change in 5 war-impacted countries. 

Mission: The mission of Innovations in Peacebuilding International (IPI) is to accompany local efforts in war-affected countries toward creative and sustainable peace solutions which afford opportunity for all.

Vision: IPI envisions a world where conflict is solved through nonviolent means, where children soldiery is a distant and outlawed practice of the past, where war-affected areas have since developed into sustainable, prospering, and safe communities experiencing positive peace.
