Peace & Recovery Initiative | Call for Proposals


The Innovations for Poverty Action Peace & Recovery Initiative (P&R), funded by UK International Development, supports rigorous impact evaluations, pilots, exploratory studies, evidence use and policy outreach support, and infrastructure and public goods projects to inform policies and programs related to the prevention of, responses to, and recovery from most forms of social and political violence as well as humanitarian emergencies, including:

  • International and civil wars
  • State-supported violence and repression, from mass killings to police brutality
  • Electoral violence
  • Riots, protests, strikes, and other collective action
  • Intergroup violence, including ethnic and sectarian violence
  • Terrorism and violent extremism
  • “Recovery” responses after conflict or crises, including natural disasters

  • Understanding and preventing individual-level participation in violence
  • Understanding, combating, and reintegrating armed groups
  • Addressing prejudice and building horizontal social cohesion
  • Strengthening household and community resilience
  • Building institutions, resolving disputes, and delivering justice
