Peace Finance Workshop 2 - Applying the Standard
A deep dive into peace-positive investing by applying the Peace Finance Standard (PFS) to real initiatives.
This 90-minute interactive session moves from principles to practice, showing how to structure investments that deliver both financial and peace outcomes.
Why this workshop?
Fragile and conflict-affected settings need more than generic ESG approaches. They require investments that are intentionally designed to reduce risks, build trust, and deliver peace outcomes.
The Peace Finance Standard offers a structured way to do this. It defines what counts as peace-positive, embeds Peace Enhancing Mechanisms (PEMs), and provides tools to track results.
This workshop takes you beyond the basics — showing how to apply the Standard to real cases so that investments not only avoid harm but actively contribute to stability and opportunity.
Who is this workshop for?
- Development finance institutions & donors – looking to strengthen fragile-market pipelines with peace-positive structuring.
- Impact and ESG investors – seeking tools that go beyond compliance and traditional ESG.
- Peacebuilding & development practitioners – aiming to translate peace expertise into investable language.
- Policy makers & advisors – aligning national priorities with peace-positive investment strategies.
- Enterprises in fragile settings – exploring how the Standard can help secure funding and scale responsibly.
