The projects were carried out jointly between the Cordoba Peace Institute – Geneva (CPI) and the Swiss Federal Department for Foreign Affairs (FDFA)
CPI works in the arena of violence prevention, conflict transformation and peace promotion. From 2011, following the wave of popular uprisings across North Africa and the Middle East, CPI concentrated on accompanying those countries facing profound political and social changes.
The engagement of the Swiss FDFA in the field of peace and security promotion is among the four strategic priorities of the Swiss Foreign Policy Strategy 2016-2019. One of its specific areas of engagement is the transformation of violent conflicts with a religious dimension.
