Service for Sponsors
The Peace Agents Foundation works within the management and communication gaps between donors, projects implementing organizations and beneficiaries.
As a German foundation, we introduce Western quality management standards but learn from the culture and customs of our host countries and partners. Our primary focus is on the beneficiaries: We start and end our cooperation activities always with the people affected by conflict and working for a just peace.
Being continuously present on-site helps us in addressing potential problems like
mismanagement;
corruption threats;
bureaucracy and
unacceptable high administration expenses
by preventive means and mechanisms.
Supporting our partner organizations through various services, the Peace Agents Foundation provides and guarantees donors
a solid project management;
an appropriate beneficiary-oriented use of funds;
a profound and transparent finance report; and
a comprehensive documentation.
The Peace Agents Foundation basically offers its services for free. Members of the foundation as well as the Board of Directors are volunteers from different backgrounds who want to contribute to innovative and creative approaches towards policies of peace. However, if requested by a partner organization, renowned experts of the foundation can be assigned as paid advisors on a long-term base.
