We transform conflict
in the digital age.
At the intersection of peacebuilding and technology, Build Up uses new tools for old problems, and old tools for new problems. We implement programs, conduct research, and develop technical solutions to engage with conflict and build societies in which everyone can thrive.
We organise our work in three program areas
Inclusive Politics
We provide support to political processes at the intersection of peacebuilding and democratization, using participatory methodologies, digital technologies and peacebuilding expertise.

Digital Conflict
