UK
A registered charity headquartered in the UK, International Alert works with people around the world to support a sustainable and inclusive end to violence.
Our UK office hosts a number of members of our global teams, who work across Alert to support our programmes, operations, fundraising, communications and governance, or to deliver thematic and cross-cutting programmes and partnerships. Other members of these global teams work from Alert’s country offices, so our headquarters is distributed across our global network: since 2024, we have recruited global team roles by default on such a global basis. The UK office also hosts a small number of programme staff whose work is best done from outside the conflict contexts they work on.
We advocate for the UK and other countries to use their global influence – through funding, diplomacy, and policy choices – as effectively and responsibly as possible to support peace and stability worldwide. This means making the case for sustained and deliberate investment in conflict prevention, and for an approach to foreign policy that treats peacebuilding as a priority rather than an afterthought.
International Alert is a member of several networks that are committed to building sustainable peace. This includes the Alliance for Peacebuilding (AfP), a global network of over 200 organisations; Bond, a UK network for organisations working in international development; and, through our sister organisation based in the Netherlands, the European Peacebuilding Liaison Office (EPLO), an independent platform of European non-governmental organisations and think tanks.
