Mandate

TrustWorks enables public and private actors – including companies, investors, governments and global institutions – to operate in fragile and conflict-affected settings in a manner that is responsible, collaborative and innovative.

TrustWorks’ purpose is to prevent conflict, promote stability and foster peace-positive development with a view to improving the lives and livelihoods of the world’s most vulnerable populations.

TrustWorks’ leading experts have extensive practical experience in fragile and conflict-affected settings; our inter-disciplinary team provides tailored, results-oriented and holistic support to our clients – leveraging our global networks to ensure our efforts are informed by and supportive of local knowledge and expertise.

Responsible

We support private and public actors to develop and implement context-specific, conflict-sensitive strategies to achieve their organizational objectives in FCS in a manner that at a minimum does ‘no harm’ and, where possible, maximises their unique potential to have positive impacts on conflict and stability.

Collaborative

We drive powerful, novel and unusual cross-boundary collaboration - breaking down siloes between private and public actors - to address critical conflict- and stability-related challenges in FCS that cannot be solved by any one actor or sector alone.

Innovative

We push the boundaries of current knowledge and practice of private and public actors in FCS – challenging conventional ways of doing things – to achieve more effective, efficient and impactful outcomes on conflict and stability.
