THE COLLAB PROGRAM
Building Bridges for Peace through Strategic Partnerships
The COLLAB Program is an innovative initiative aimed at fostering strategic partnerships with like-minded organizations to amplify peace efforts and promote sustainable development.

The COLLAB Program leverages partnerships to create a united front against these issues, enabling the Peace Centre and its partners to make a greater, more sustainable impact.
