How do we make peacebuilding a first-order issue? We know peacebuilding is the answer to conflict—so why do we, as a field, have such a hard time making that case to funders, policymakers, and the public?

In this episode of AfP’s Got Conflict? Let’s Talk Peacebuilding! podcast, AfP’s Executive Director, Liz Hume, sits down with John Marks, founder of Search for Common Ground, to answer these questions and discuss his new book, From Vision to Action: Remaking the World Through Social Entrepreneurship. In this far-reaching conversation, Marks explores the importance of long-term bridge building, Search’s work in Burundi, peacebuilding in the U.S., and the structural challenges to funding peacebuilding.
