About Peace Labs

Peace Labs (مختبرات السلام) was founded in 2012, to advance peace work in the Middle East. As a non-profit organization, Peace Labs approaches conflict systemically and systematically, addressing and analyzing the root causes, and adopting a long-term programming approach, to mitigate conflict and to strengthen social cohesion within and between communities.

Since its founding, Peace Labs has successfully enhanced the quality and reach of peace programs in the Middle East, ensuring effectiveness and efficiency in every endeavor, through dialogue facilitation, training, coaching, technical support, grants and in-kind contributions. Based on the close collaborations with organizations carrying out projects and engagements in the field of peacebuilding, development and conflict resolution, Peace Labs works on capacity building and facilitated processes to bridge existing divides.

The unique model of Peace Labs entails a continuous development approach, where reflective feedback and lessons learned are channeled back in to the system, to communally improve peacebuilding efforts.
