ABOUT US

Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) is a dynamic, international non-governmental organization. We work to reduce violence and protect civilians in countries affected by violent conflict and its aftermath through the implementation of unarmed civilian protection programming. NP implements programming through the deployment of civilian protection teams to the field and is continuing to scale up to meet the growing needs of the communities we serve. Programming is founded on unarmed civilian protection and is thematically focused on protection in displacement, child protection, gender-based violence protection, and inter-communal violence reduction. In Iraq, our programmatic field team in Sinjar, Baaj, Qayyarah, south Mosul, and Zummar is supported by locally recruited national teams and internationally recruited staff. NPIQ has a number of international staff who are responsible for program development and implementation.
