Concept Note Submission from Principles for Peace for Workshop on the Peace Navigator

In fragile contexts where conditions change rapidly, decision-makers across government, multilateral organizations, and diverse actors in the peace and security ecosystem face a critical challenge: how to access real-time, reliable intelligence that enables effective early warning, strategy adjustment, and resource allocation in volatile environments.

The Peace Navigator, developed by the Principles for Peace Foundation in partnership with the Institute for Economics and Peace, transforms this challenge into opportunity. This first-of-its-kind, AI-powered platform draws on an unprecedented database of 50,000+ websites and 29,000+ documents, spanning over 20 years of data from 56 fragile and conflict-affected countries. The Navigator uses advanced AI algorithms to translate fragmented data into decision-grade intelligence, with daily collection from trusted sources tracking conflict dynamics in real-time.

Geared specifically for decision-makers, the platform analyzes 39 indicators across our Eight Principles for Peace, enabling practitioners to identify emerging vulnerabilities, adjust engagement strategies, and allocate resources based on evidence rather than assumptions. Whether you're enabling early warning systems, recalibrating programmatic approaches, or assessing intervention timing, the Navigator provides the dynamic, interactive insights needed for effective action.

Join us as we present key trends analyzed from our comprehensive dataset and experience firsthand how this AI tool can transform your decision-making.
