Our Commitments
Serving the needs of peace and peace actors
PDI bridges the gap between peace mediation and peace-supporting commercial investments by working closely with a network of trusted peace-mediators. As a result, PDI is able to design conflict-sensitive investments to meet peace-making objectives, and to ensure close accompaniment of investments.
We work on a demand-driven basis, serving the needs of trusted partners across the peace sector. PDI focusses only where our efforts can make a real difference in addressing persistent gaps in the market response. Therefore, PDI teams avoid duplicating existing efforts and ensure complementarity with economic partners through proactive communication and coordination.
