PBI making space for peace

Peace Brigades International (PBI) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) which protects human rights and promotes nonviolent transformation of conflicts.When invited, they send teams of volunteers into areas of repression and conflict. The volunteers accompany human rights defenders, their organizations and others threatened by political violence. Perpetrators of human rights abuses usually do not want the world to witness their actions. The presence of volunteers backed by a support network helps to deter violence. PBI CREATES SPACE for local activists to work for social justice and human rights.

February 23th and 24th Finance workshop


On February 23th and 24th PBI organized a finance workshop to build capacity amongst PBI's local network of NGO's and activists. During the activities of the committee of Peace Day 2008 PBI discovered that there is a not enough capacity on financial management like, making and dealing with budgets, balances and proposals for funding. This workshop was facilitated by Heidi Scheunemann as a financial specialist with a lot of experience in working with Papuans in this field. The 2 day workshop was attended by 15 participants.
