Got Conflict? Let's Talk Peacebuilding!
Got Conflict? Let’s Talk Peacebuilding is a podcast by the Alliance for Peacebuilding (AfP), a network of more than 225 organizations working globally in 181 countries to reduce and prevent violent conflict and build sustainable peace.
Got conflict? Of course we do! Because conflict is inevitable, but violent conflict is not. In this podcast, we discuss what is driving record-breaking global violent conflict, and more importantly, what we can do to prevent and reduce violent conflict and build sustainable peace—in our neighborhoods just down the street and in faraway places.

Measuring Peace: How the Peacebuilding Field Can Enable and Evaluate Effective Interreligious Dialogue
AfP was proud to partner with the Porticus Foundation to implement the program “Enabling Effective Dialogue: Developing Understanding and Effectiveness Measures." The goal of the initiative was to gather and assess the evidence about the effectiveness of interreligious dialogue (IRD) as a peacebuilding approach, and contribute to a strong culture of monitoring, evaluation, and learning across the IRD sector. A key part of this activity was establishing a peer learning community of global south IRD implementers, academia, and diverse NGOs who exchanged insights and best practices in assessing IRD.
Longtime AfP collaborator Saurav Upadhyay was deeply involved in this project from inception. Join AfP’s Michele Piercey in a conversation with Saurav, where he talks about some of the most striking lessons learned from this project, and what he sees as the most promising avenues for further research.
