‘Everyday peace’ offers a new framework to potentially transform practice in conflict-affected situations. It refers to the ways non-elite, ordinary people, routinely act as they seek to get on with their everyday lives in deeply divided settings, in ways that minimise conflict risk.

The paper demonstrates how it is possible for international agencies to strengthen this everyday peace formation work already being done by most ordinary people in conflict-affected situations, and shows it should be factored into conflict analysis.
