To shape our strategic policy engagement and multi-stakeholder dialogue processes and influence peacebuilding policy, the swisspeace Communication Program is looking for a:
Policy & Stakeholder Engagement Lead (80 – 100 %)
Starting date: 01 September 2026 (or by agreement)
The swisspeace Communication Program examines and advises on the role of peacebuilding communication in research and practice and shapes peacebuilding policy in Switzerland and beyond. Our research explores how visual representations of peace and related concepts shape public perceptions and the intersection of art and peace. In practice, the program fosters dialogue and creative spaces — including the Basel Peace Forum and ECHO Basel — to connect diverse stakeholders and make peacebuilding accessible to a wide range of audiences. Through its platforms and networks, such as KOFF and the interparliamentary group on peacebuilding, the program informs public and policy debates, engages decision makers, amplifies the voices of partners and members, and contributes to a more informed discourse on peace in Switzerland and internationally.
Among other activities, we coordinate the Swiss Platform for Peacebuilding (KOFF), an exchange and dialogue platform with around 40 civil society and two governmental member organizations working in the fields of peace, human rights, gender equality, sustainable development, humanitarian aid, and international cooperation. The overarching goal of KOFF is to strengthen the positive impact of Swiss actors' engagement — both governmental and civil society — on peaceful and inclusive societies in times of global and national challenges. By facilitating exchange and dialogue, the platform connects key stakeholders, contributes to more coherent approaches, and supports informed policy discussions.
