Who We Are
Who We Are
Peacecraft is an independent mediation and negotiation practice addressing complex disputes and governance challenges involving technology, natural resources, institutions, and competing political interests—where legitimacy, trust, and careful process design are essential.
Peacecraft supports governments, organisations, communities, and cross-sector actors in designing and facilitating processes that help them navigate difficult conflicts and contested decisions.
Working across African and international contexts, Peacecraft contributes to dialogue and negotiation processes that require careful balancing of technical expertise, political realities, and social legitimacy.
What We Do
What We Do
Negotiation Architecture & Process Design
Negotiation Architecture & Process Design
Designing the structure of negotiation processes before they begin.
This includes stakeholder mapping, mandate definition, representation design, dialogue process sequencing, and the development of negotiation frameworks to manage complex political and institutional dynamics.
We know that well-designed processes increase legitimacy, reduce escalation, and improve the likelihood of durable outcomes.
Dialogue Facilitation
Dialogue Facilitation
Facilitating dialogue processes involving governments, international institutions, civil society, private sector actors, and affected communities.
These processes often involve contested interests, unequal power relationships, and politically sensitive issues that require careful facilitation and trust-building.
Peacecraft supports dialogue processes that remain credible, inclusive, and constructive under pressure.
Technology & AI Governance Negotiations
Technology & AI Governance Negotiations
Supporting institutions and stakeholders navigating governance challenges related to artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and emerging technologies.
These issues often require negotiation processes that bring together technical actors, policymakers, civil society, and industry to address questions of risk, accountability, and public interest.
Peacecraft contributes mediation and process design expertise to help structure these conversations
Environmental & Resource Conflict Mediation
Environmental & Resource Conflict Mediation
Supporting dialogue and negotiation processes addressing environmental disputes, natural resource governance challenges, and sustainability transitions.
Peacecraft facilitates processes to balance ecological concerns, economic interests, and social legitimacy.
Our Approach
Our Approach
Peacecraft’s work is grounded in three principles.
Legitimacy:
Negotiation processes must be credible to those involved and those affected by their outcomes. Process design must therefore ensure fair representation, transparency where appropriate, and clarity of mandate.
Power Awareness:
Conflicts often involve unequal power relationships between actors. Effective mediation requires recognising these dynamics and designing processes that can manage them constructively.
Institutional Durability:
Negotiation outcomes must withstand political, institutional, and public scrutiny. Peacecraft focuses on processes that lead to durable and implementable outcomes.
