Saferworld is an independent international organisation working to prevent violent conflict and build safer lives. We work with local people affected by conflict to improve their safety and sense of security, and conduct wider research and analysis. We use this evidence and learning to improve local, national and international policies and practices that can help build lasting peace. Our priority is people – we believe that everyone should be able to lead peaceful, fulfilling lives, free from insecurity and violent conflict.

Post-2015
The Millennium Development Goals are set to expire at the end of 2015, read about Saferworld's work to ensure the development framework that suceeds them includes peacebuilding priorities.
ATT
On 2 April 2013 a global Arms Trade Treaty was adopted by the UN General Assembly. Progressive interpretation and strong implementation are now needed to stop irresponsible arms transfers that fuel conflict and destroy lives.
Community security
We are working with local communities on an exciting new project aimed at improving the conditions for reconstruction and development in Bangladesh, South Sudan and Yemen.
