Yesterday, AfP released its 2025 annual report, which outlines AfP’s achievements over the last year and where we are going in 2026 and beyond. The report explores our work to deepen engagement with donors, policymakers, and practitioners globally amidst dire challenges facing the peacebuilding field; how our learning efforts are strengthening the evidence base to promote more innovative, adaptive, and integrated approaches; and how AfP’s narrative efforts are expanding to change social norms and build a broad-based constituency for peacebuilding.

The Alliance for Peacebuilding (AfP), a network of nearly 300 organizations working to prevent violent conflict and build sustainable peace in 181 countries, solemnly marks the three-year anniversary of the devastating war in Sudan that has created the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. As the war enters its fourth year, the response by the international community remains direly inadequate. AfP calls on world leaders to act with urgency to promote an inclusive peace process, address the humanitarian crisis and its disproportionate impacts on women and girls, prevent further atrocities and protect civilians, and facilitate a civilian-led democratic transition.

Today, AfP called on President Trump to prioritize diplomacy over threats that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran does not meet his demands. This escalation could amount to violation of international law—including the Genocide Convention and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court—and brings the region and the world closer to a full-blown crisis. The law is also clear that civilians must not be targeted and must be protected from indiscriminate or disproportionate attacks. We urge the U.S. Government to choose diplomacy over arbitrary deadlines to end the war and humanitarian suffering.
