International development is increasingly shaped by fragility, conflict, and violence (FCV). The World Bank projects that by 2030, the number of countries affected by FCV will be home to 46% of the world’s extreme poor. To get ahead of this challenge, Counterpart International is working with communities to assess local drivers of conflict and identify assets and resources available from the bottom-up for building peace and security. In these contexts, it is increasingly important for women have meaningful opportunities to affect peacebuilding.
