Sustainable Peace and Security Global Action Network Initiative

About the Peace and Security GAN Initiative

In the summer of 2008, iScale launched an initiative to develop a global action network (GAN) of leading organizations and individuals working to promote sustainable peace and security, to enable these organizations to foster a greater sense of urgency in the field and an orientation toward making the most rapid progress possible in promoting sustainable peace and security, and especially the prevention of mass violence and the protection of civilians from violent conflict.

The initiative, initially co-developed with support from Humanity United, is now led by a cohort of leaders from throughout the world on the issues of conflict prevention and peacebuilding, each of whom have committed to champion the initiative to others in the field, as well as to serve as the coordinating body of the initiative. In this role, these individuals, dubbed the Global Stewardship Group (GSG), meet regularly to provide direction to the initiative, which is then coordinated by iScale, which continues to serve as the secretariat of the project.
