What you’ll find on the Caucasus Peacebuilding Portal
The Caucasus Peacebuilding Portal serves as a knowledge hub for peacebuilding efforts in the South Caucasus region. It brings together information from peacebuilding projects in the region, research and analysis from leading experts, and stories from affected communities.
Vision and purpose
The portal provides peace and conflict experts and audiences interested in working toward regional stability with reliable, up-to-date information that fosters cross-conflict dialogue and promotes peace in the South Caucasus. It gathers diverse perspectives from all sides, creating a space where opposing viewpoints can be heard and understood.
Achieving lasting and sustainable peace in the region is possible. This is a process that takes time and requires persistent daily efforts aimed at:
- Increasing participation in peaceful conflict resolution, especially among marginalised groups
- Building confidence and trust through increased contact between sides of the conflict
- Encouraging fresh analysis that challenges existing thinking on conflict and seeks to promote peace
- Supporting civil society engagement with policy-makers at national and international levels around how to resolve conflicts peacefully.
The Caucasus Peacebuilding Portal provides insights into how these principles can be applied in practice.
Focus/scope
The portal showcases civil society efforts supported by the EU through programmes including the European Partnership for the Peaceful Settlement of the Nagorny Karabakh Conflict (EPNK) (2016-2019) and EU4Peace (2020-present).
Visual content
Photographs you’ll see throughout the portal were taken by Armenian and Azerbaijani photographers, illustrating the lives of people affected by conflict. Place names reflect those used by the people depicted and do not imply a particular position on the status of those places.
