Nominations are open for the 2022 Women Building Peace Award sponsored by the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP).
Distinguished annual award honors women peacebuilders from fragile and conflict-affected countries who are leading efforts to prevent conflict, challenge violence, and find peacebuilding solutions that make a difference in their communities, countries, or internationally.
By nominating a woman peacebuilder, you are honoring her accomplishments, validating her dedicated work to the peacebuilding field, and recognizing her contributions to preventing and ending violent conflict. The information below will help nominators to craft a strong nomination application for their nominee.
Because this award aims to celebrate the often overlooked yet essential role that women play in peacebuilding, USIP strongly encourages nominations of individual women who have not been previously recognized for their work in peacebuilding.
