Abstract
Over the next four years we'll work to build peace and prevent violent conflict. Our strategic plan outlines how. Despite notable progress toward peace and stability in some countries, we expect global patterns of increased violence and displacement to continue. The strategic plan identifies the following priority areas: Achieving greater systemic change at the national level where we work. Challenging the rhetoric that spreads division. Increased partnership, country-level leadership and expertise. Communications and strategic funding for the flexible, agile responses needed to create change.
