Who We Are
Institute for International Peace Building (IIPB) is a non-governmental organization established in January 2008 in response to threat of terrorism. Terrorism has created many victims directly and indirectly. Many people have been killed, many children have been orphaned, and many wives have been widowed and they are now faced with economic difficulties and they are also having to deal with the stigma as terrorist for the rest of their lives. On the other hand, the 'hard' approach to tackling terrorism has been proved ineffective. This can be seen by the emergence of new threats.
A different approach is required. We need an integrated policy and national strategy to reduce the level of threats coming from violent groups. The existence of IIPB is focused on developing and deepen understanding of peace and conflict, political violence, terrorism and other transnational crimes.
Our overall objective is to promote peace, including through dialogue.
