Civil Peace Service

The aim of the Civil Peace Service (CPS) is to contain the outbreak of violence without resorting to arms, in doing so reinforcing civil structures for peaceful conflict resolution.
The programme started in 1999. Since then, specially-prepared experts have been sent to crisis areas, supporting local partner organisations in:

  • preventing violent conflicts from erupting,
  • resolving conflicts peacefully,
  • building structures following conflicts which help to secure peace in the long-term.
