Building a better tomorrow
At the Centre for Democracy and Peace, we believe in the power of democracy to heal divisions, build trust, and create a better tomorrow.
We are a registered charity, established to support individuals, communities, and institutions to resolve conflict, uphold human rights, and foster reconciliation.
Founded on the lessons of Northern Ireland’s peace process, our work empowers leaders across civil society and political life to address grievances constructively and inspire confidence in democratic institutions.
