Insights, Tools and Connections for Peace-Positive Investment
Your hub for workshops, practical guidance, spotlight initiatives, and community collaboration on peace-positive investments.
What is Peace Finance?
Peace finance is a new and emerging approach that aligns capital with peace and stability. It enables investors and development partners to de-risk investments in fragile settings so they are not only financially viable, but also sustainable, inclusive, and supportive of long-term resilience.
For those who want to take a deeper dive, the Peace Finance E-Hub provides a structured pathway to learn, engage, and get certified. It offers foundational training, tools, and resources to apply peace finance principles in real-world contexts.

Spotlight Initiatives
Mozambique Peace & Security Investment Hub (RISE-PS)
In northern Mozambique, the RISE-PS (Resilient Investment for Socio-Economic Empowerment, Peace & Security) programme represents one of the more advanced attempts to integrate peace considerations directly into investment coordination on the ground. Supported by the African Development Bank and implemented in partnership with Interpeace and UNDP, the initiative combines job creation, SME support, skills development, and community infrastructure with an explicit peace and security framing.
Its significance lies less in scale or replication, and more in design intent: peace and stability are treated as enabling conditions for sustained investment performance in a highly fragile context, rather than assumed downstream benefits.
HDP Fund
An emerging blended-finance vehicle focused on fragile and displacement-affected settings, exploring how peace-intentional design can strengthen stability, legitimacy, and investment performance. Developed by Shuraako Capital, Human Planet Ventures, and Interpeace
Financing Peace through Capital Markets – AfDB ARF 2025
Co-hosted by AfDB, Finance for Peace, and Peaceinvest, this hybrid technical event explored how capital markets can catalyse peace-positive investments across Africa—introducing the concept of Peace Bonds and investor engagement around de-risking through Peace Enhancing Mechanisms (PEMs).
