About Us
Generations For Peace (GFP) is a Jordan-based global non-profit peacebuilding organization founded by HRH
Prince Feisal Al Hussein of Jordan in 2007.
Dedicated to sustainable conflict transformation at the grassroots, Generations For Peace empowers volunteer
leaders of youth to promote active tolerance and responsible citizenship in communities experiencing different forms
of conflict and violence.
\
Carefully facilitated sport-based games, art, advocacy, dialogue, empowerment, and media activities provide an entry
point to engage children, youth, and adults, and a vehicle for integrated education and sustained behavioural
change.
OUR VISION
Sustainable peace in actively tolerant communities through responsible citizenship.
OUR MISSION
To empower youth to lead and cascade sustainable change in communities experiencing conflict through world-class free
education in conflict transformation and the use of sport, art, advocacy, dialogue, empowerment, and media for
peacebuilding.
OUR VALUES

Youth Leadership: We believe youth have a vital role in leading social change and transforming conflict in their
communities.

Community Empowerment: We believe in working at the grassroots, supporting youth to build on local strengths
to help communities transform themselves into tolerant, peaceful societies.

Active Tolerance: We believe peace is a process driven by active understanding, dialogue, and positive
engagement with others, founded on trust and respect.

Responsible Citizenship: We believe social change begins with personal responsibility and is sustained when
people are actively engaged in creating the shared future of their community

In the last 15 years, we have trained and mentored more than 22,502 volunteer leaders of youth in 52 countries in
the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America.
With our support, their ongoing programmes address local issues of conflict and violence and have touched the lives
of more than 1,446,349 children, youth, and adults.
Generations For Peace changemakers address cultural and structural violence issues in their communities, where
contexts include inter-tribal, inter-ethnic, inter-religious violence; gender inequality; exclusion of minorities (IDPs,
refugees, people with a disability); post-conflict trauma response; and reconciliation and reintegration. Additionally,
our approach integrates conflict sensitivity and the full participation and empowerment of girls and women
(in the implementation of UNSCR1325).
Our programme monitoring and evaluations show increased volunteerism, youth engagement, responsible
citizenship, and empowerment of girls and women, as well as greater self-sufficiency and capacity, increased social
capital networks, reductions in violence, breaking of stereotypes, and greater tolerance, trust, and understanding.
Generations For Peace has strong partnerships with key peacebuilding and international development institutions,
including UN agencies, governmental donors, NGOs, the Olympic Movement, and commercial partners committed to
corporate social responsibility.
In addition, Generations For Peace is the only peace-through-sport organisation officially recognised by the
International Olympic Committee.
Generations For Peace is ranked 25th Social Good Organisation (SGO) in the “Top 200 SGOs in the World” for 2021
by SGO Advisor. It is the third-highest-ranked peacebuilding SGO in the world and the top-ranked SGO in the Arab
World.
