Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC)
We are seeking a relationship builder and politically astute Network Coordinator to strengthen governance, deepen network collaboration, and enhance strategic coordination across the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict.
About GPPAC   The Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) is the world’s largest member-led network of local peace building and conflict prevention organisations. Bringing together more than 250 members across regions, GPPAC strengthens locally led efforts to prevent violent conflict and sustain peace. Present and active before, during, and after conflict, its members contribute contextual knowledge, operational experience, and long-term engagement in societies affected by violence.
GPPAC amplifies local leadership so that peace builders shape policy agendas and responses. It facilitates cross-regional learning and collaboration by connecting civil society actors to exchange experience, strengthen capacity, and develop joint initiatives. The network also bridges civil society and policy spaces, ensuring that locally grounded perspectives inform national, regional, and international decision-making on conflict prevention.
The Global Secretariat of GPPAC supports the effective functioning and strategic direction of the network. It facilitates coordination across governance and operational bodies, connecting regional networks, working groups, and the wider membership to enable inclusive and effective decision-making. The Secretariat leads core functions including global advocacy, communications, fundraising, and monitoring, evaluation, and learning, thereby strengthening the network’s collective impact in conflict prevention and peace building.
