Saferworld is an independent international organisation working to prevent violent conflict and build safer lives. We work with people affected by conflict to improve their safety and sense of security, and conduct wider research and analysis. We use this evidence and learning to improve local, national and international policies and practices that can help build lasting peace. Our priority is people – we believe in a world where everyone can lead peaceful, fulfilling lives, free from fear and insecurity. We are a not-for-profit organisation, working through partners in 10 countries across Africa, Asia and the middle East.

Saferworld is headquartered in the UK, with affiliate offices in Washington and Brussels leading on regional advocacy activities and mobilising funding for Saferworld’s programming and global policy work.
