CEP draws on a wide network of experts, advisors and civic leaders to provide the following services: 

We place immense value on the knowledge, skills, and experience of those directly engaged with on-the-ground realities in shaping solutions-oriented policies.  We firmly believe that these individuals and communities are essential in formulating solution-focused policies that address the root causes of prevailing challenges and are amplified within the global policy-making sphere.

Our strategy leverages diverse forms of expertise and networks, including the invaluable knowledge inherent within grassroots communities and peripheral groups. We don’t simply advocate for initiating change from the grassroots level – we value and harness the wisdom that originates from the ground up. This approach underpins our efforts to push for and develop policies that are ethical, adaptable, and effective.

•  Action-oriented research and design
  Systems analysis and foresight
Stakeholder Mapping & Multi-Stakeholder Engagement

We shape processes, strategise plans, and facilitate multilayered dialogues that result in policies and narratives that are firmly rooted in the lived experiences and insights of the communities we serve while also addressing global dynamics.

Our efforts extend beyond mere advocacy; we serve as an active conduit bridging the space between grassroots realities and high-level policy dialogues.  We strive to ensure that the voices and experiences of communities are not only heard but form the bedrock of discussions and decisions. With CEP, policy-making isn’t just about top-down decisions; it’s about grounding strategies in realities and striving for genuine, lasting change.

•  Dialogue Design & Facilitations
•  Grassroots Support & Network Building
•  Policy Engagement  & Communications & Coaching/Support

A fundamental aspect of CEP’s work is about tapping into the transformative potential of communications to drive change and to reshape narratives. Through independent storytelling and strategic audience engagement, we position critical voices and narratives at the heart of discourse.

Our efforts focus on highlighting, preserving, and amplifying the knowledge and expertise of communities fervently striving for just and enduring peace. We provide advocacy and communications training, create platforms, and connect key voices to popular media.

We collaborate closely with civil actors to mobilise for change. By harnessing collective power and leveraging shared platforms, we work towards catalysing social transformation, one story, one voice at a time. We believe communication is more than mere messaging; it’s about creating dialogues, nurturing connections, and uniting voices for a shared cause.

Our work includes:

•  Media campaigns & Dissemination Strategies
•  Campaign Design & Execution
•  Advocacy & Communications Training

We bring together a diverse range of tools, expertise, and insights to provide advisory services for civic actors, experts, activists and policymakers.  Our approach is based on a comprehensive understanding of various disciplines, including peacemaking, communications, campaigning, and process design. 

We leverage our robust analysis and networks to provide expert advice and strategic support that is rooted in real-world contexts. Our goal is to offer advice that not only addresses immediate concerns but also fosters long-term, positive change.
