AFP CONTINUED TO COLEAD THE GFA COALITION WITH MERCY CORPS, A COALITION OF OVER 350 MEMBERS THAT SERVES AS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT'S GO-TO CIVIL SOCIETY PARTNER. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, AFP CONVENED A SERIES OF CONSULTATIONS TO ASSESS AND PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS ON SUCCESSFUL GFA OPERATIONALIZATION. THE FIRST REPORT TO CONGRESS REQUIRED UNDER THE LAW SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED THE IMPACT OF THE GFA COALITION. 2024 MARKED THE SECOND YEAR OF AFP'S LEADERSHIP OF THE PREVENTION AND PROTECTION WORKING GROUP (PPWG), A COALITION DEDICATED TO IMPROVING U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICIES AND CIVILIAN CAPACITIES TO AVERT AND RESPOND TO MASS ATROCITIES AND PROTECT CIVILIANS, WHICH GREW BY OVER 100 MEMBERS DURING THE YEAR.

IN SEPTEMBER, AFP'S SENIOR MANAGER FOR POLICY AND ADVOCACY'S OP-ED IN JUST SECURITY ARGUED USAID'S NEW DIGITAL POLICY FAILED TO INTEGRATE PEACEBUILDING, CONFLICT PREVENTION, AND CIVILIAN PROTECTION.

IN THE FALL, AFP BEGAN PREPARING FOR A NEW ADMINISTRATION AND CONGRESS AND CONVENED A SERIES OF CONSULTATIONS WITH MEMBERS AND OTHER PARTNERS THROUGHOUT THE WIDER DEVELOPMENT SECTOR TO IDENTIFY PRIORITIES AND DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THESE POLICYMAKERS TO ADVANCE PEACEBUILDING AND PREVENTION.

RELEASING AN UPDATED INTERACTIVE, PARTICIPATORY PLATFORM FOR THE EIRENE PEACEBUILDING DATABASE, ENHANCING USABILITY, REAL-TIME UPDATES, AND ENABLING USER CONTRIBUTIONS. 2. LAUNCHING A PROJECT TO IDENTIFY AND PROMOTE EFFECTIVE LOCALLY-LED PEACE-BUILDING PRACTICES, LEVERAGING PAST RESEARCH, NETWORK ANALYSIS, AND ITERATIVE REVIEWS TO ASSESS SUCCESSES, CHALLENGES, AND OPERATIONAL BARRIERS. 3. SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING A MULTI-YEAR INTERRELIGIOUS ACTION GRANT INTEGRATING EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACHES INTO INTERFAITH INITIATIVES, HIGHLIGHTING THE NEED TO MOVE BEYOND CONTACT THEORY, INCORPORATE ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISMS, AND ENSURE SUSTAINED ENGAGEMENT FOR MORE IMPACTFUL INTERFAITH PEACEBUILDING, WHILE ALSO ADDRESSING CHALLENGES IN INSTITUTIONALIZING EVALUATION, STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT, AND LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY. 4.CONCLUDING THE USAID-FUNDED LASER PULSE PROJECT, IN COLLABORATION WITH AIR AND ACLED, DEVELOPING A LEARNING AGENDA AND EVIDENCE BASE TO ENHANCE ARMED CONFLICT AND VIOLENCE PREVENTION. ESTABLISHING A CREDIBLE AND ACCESSIBLE EVIDENCE BASE FOR MAKING THE CASE FOR PEACEBUILDING IS A CENTRAL PRIORITY FOR AFP. AFP STRENGTHENED THE PEACEBUILDING EVIDENCE BASE THROUGH JOINT RESEARCH, POLICY INITIATIVES, AND KNOWLEDGE-SHARING EXCHANGES FOR PRACTITIONERS, DONORS, AND POLICYMAKERS, ENSURING FINDINGS WERE ACTIONABLE AND LEARNING-DRIVEN. AFP HOSTED PEER LEARNING EVENTS, WORKING GROUP AND COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE MEETINGS, AND NUMEROUS PEACECON SESSIONS, INCLUDING: WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF MEASURING PEACE?, GLOBAL FRAGILITY ACT MEL INNOVATIONS, GLOBAL AND LOCAL WAYS OF ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PEACEBUILDING, AND MEASURING DIPLOMATIC ENGAGEMENT FOR EFFECTIVE PEACEBUILDING AND CONFLICT PREVENTION. THESE SERVED AS VITAL PLATFORMS FOR FOSTERING COLLABORATION AND MUTUAL LEARNING AMONGST POLICYMAKERS, FUNDERS, ACADEMICS, AND PRACTITIONERS AND STRENGTHENED THE PEACEBUILDING COMMUNITY'S ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY SOCIALIZE AND APPLY RESEARCH-DRIVEN INSIGHTS. DURING 2024, AFP UPDATED ITS GUIDING STEPS TO PEACEBUILDING DESIGN, MONITORING, AND EVALUATION, INITIALLY PUBLISHED IN JANUARY 2018, DETAILING SEVEN STANDARDS EVERY PEACEBUILDING PROGRAM MUST INCLUDE TO CONTRIBUTE TO ROBUST EVIDENCE AND LEARNING. THIS GUIDANCE HELPS PROFESSIONALIZE PEACEBUILDING EVALUATION AND HIGHLIGHTS HOW PROGRAMS SHOULD BE MEASURABLE, EVIDENCE-DRIVEN, ETHICALLY CONDUCTED, AND WIDELY SOCIALIZED. AFP PUBLISHED A NEW INTERACTIVE AND PARTICIPATORY PLATFORM FOR THE EIRENE PEACEBUILDING DATABASE THAT ALLOWS FOR INCREASED USABILITY BY RESEARCHERS AND CONSISTENT UPDATING BY AFP. IN ADDITION, THE NEW PLATFORM INCORPORATES ADVANCED ANALYTICS TO TRACK USER ENGAGEMENT AND IDENTIFY WHO IS ACCESSING THE DATABASE AND HOW THEY ARE UTILIZING IT, WHICH WILL FACILITATE MORE TARGETED IMPROVEMENTS. IN THE NEXT STAGE OF THE DATABASE'S REFINEMENT, AFP WILL FURTHER CATEGORIZE THE INDICATORS TO ALIGN WITH PRINCIPLES FOR PEACE'S EIGHT PRINCIPLES, INCREASING STREAMLINED LANGUAGE AND METRIC USAGE ACROSS THE FIELD AND PROVIDING A NEW AVENUE THROUGH WHICH USERS CAN SEARCH THE DATABASE. AFP COMPLETED THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A MULTI-YEAR INTERRELIGIOUS ACTION GRANT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PORTICUS THAT FACILITATED THE PEER LEARNING COMMUNITY FOR EVALUATION OF INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE INITIATIVES (PLC). THE PURPOSE OF THE GRANT WAS TO ACTUALIZE A STRONG CULTURE OF LEARNING AND EVALUATION AMONG LOCAL PEACEBUILDING ORGANIZATIONS AND HELP INTEGRATE MORE EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACHES IN INTERFAITH PEACE INITIATIVES. MEL INTERFAITH COOPERATION REPORT: BY EVALUATING 104 INDICATORS OF HOW PROGRAMS MEASURED SUCCESS, THEORIES OF CHANGE, AND THE RELIABILITY OF INDICATORS, THIS REPORT CONCLUDED THAT MOVING BEYOND CONTACT THEORY, INCORPORATING ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISMS, AND ENSURING SUSTAINED ENGAGEMENT COULD STRENGTHEN FUTURE INTERFAITH INITIATIVES. EVIDENCE SUMMIT REPORT: DURING PEACECON, AFP CONVENED AN EVIDENCE SUMMIT OF PLC MEMBERS AND PARTNERS TO DISCUSS FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON INTERRELIGIOUS ACTION PEACEBUILDING. THE KEY TAKEAWAY WAS THAT INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE IS A CRUCIAL, EVOLVING TOOL IN PEACEBUILDING AND CONFLICT PREVENTION, BUT ITS SUCCESS DEPENDS ON CONTEXT, INCLUSIVITY, AND ALIGNMENT WITH LOCAL REALITIES. SHARING EVIDENCE AND RESULTS THROUGH THE PLC, NETWORKS, AND EVENTS LIKE THE EVIDENCE SUMMIT IS KEY TO OPTIMIZING THE USE OF INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE AS A VITAL AND INTEGRATED COMPONENT OF LARGER PEACEBUILDING EFFORTS. THEORY OF CHANGE EVALUATION REPORT: THIS REPORT EVALUATED THE THEORY OF CHANGE FOR PORTICUS' ENABLING EFFECTIVE DIALOGUE PROGRAM, WHICH WAS LARGELY VALID AND SUCCESSFULLY IMPROVED INTERRELIGIOUS EVALUATION PRACTICES THROUGH KNOWLEDGE GENERATION, STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF MEASUREMENT TOOLS. HOWEVER, CHALLENGES IN INSTITUTIONALIZING EVALUATION PRACTICES, ENGAGING BROADER STAKEHOLDERS, AND ADDRESSING EXTERNAL POLITICAL BARRIERS LIMITED THE PROGRAM'S SYSTEMIC IMPACT, HIGHLIGHTING THE NEED FOR STRONGER INTEGRATION INTO FORMAL INSTITUTIONS AND LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGIES. THIS REPORT IS A TOOL TO INFORM AND ENSURE MORE EFFECTIVE FUTURE PROGRAMMING SEEKING TO ADVANCE LOCAL LEVEL DIALOGUES, PARTICULARLY AMONGST INTERFAITH GROUPS AND STAKEHOLDERS. THE PLC STATE OF THE COMMUNITY REPORT: GIVEN THE MULTI-LEVEL OUTCOMES OF THE PLCINDIVIDUAL, NETWORK, ORGANIZATIONAL, AND FIELD-WIDETHE NETWORK EVALUATION APPROACH ASSESSES THE PLC USING MULTIPLE TOOLS. THE REPORT NOTES THAT THE PLC EFFECTIVELY STRENGTHENED INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES, NETWORK COHESION, ORGANIZATIONAL PRACTICES, AND FIELD-WIDE EVALUATION METHODOLOGIES IN INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE. FUTURE RESEARCH CAN BUILD ON THESE LESSONS TO ENHANCE PEER NETWORKS, SUSTAIN ENGAGEMENT, AND INSTITUTIONALIZE KNOWLEDGE-SHARING PRACTICES.
