The International Peace Information Service (IPIS) is an independent research institute providing tailored information, analysis and capacity enhancement to support those actors who want to realize a vision of durable peace, sustainable development and the fulfillment of human rights.
IPIS brings in-depth research on the exploitation of natural resources and puts into perspective issues such as the redistribution of rents, poor governance and corruption, the financing of conflicts.
This programme aims to map the various motives of conflict actors in war-torn areas. A significant part of this research is devoted to the collection of reliable data on the field and its visualisation into cartographic material.
For over two decades, IPIS has developed solid expertise on arms trade and related issues. IPIS researchers have published detailed reports separately and in association with other partners on problematic transfers of arms and their logistics.
The Business & Human Rights programme focuses on the business and human rights issues relevant to commercial actors operating in our focal region, encompassing also environmental, social and governance (ESG) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) matters.
In order to ensure that our research and expertise reach as wide an audience as possible, IPIS often complements research with capacity enhancement. Increasingly, IPIS also offers stand-alone capacity enhancement, designed to meet the needs and knowledge gaps identified by partners and clients.
