Current projects
Sri Lanka Project
In 2002, the government of Sri Lanka and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) signed a ceasefire agreement and peace negotiations facilitated by Norway began. This was an opening for Nonviolent Peaceforce to enter the country in 2003 with a mandate to support the peace process at a grassroots level and provide unarmed protection to people coming out of 25 years of war.
Philippines Project
Nonviolent Peaceforce was invited to Mindanao by local organizations working for peace and justice. Some of the organizations are formally involved in monitoring the ceasefire between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).
NP deploys internationals to work with local peacekeepers, contribute to their safety, help to maintain ceasefires and advance the peace process.
Nonviolent Peaceforce Philippines Project objectives include:
Sudan Project

Resource conflict and human displacement contribute to conflict throughout the region. The Governments of Sudan and (semi-autonomous) South Sudan continue to maneuver for partisan advantage as the 2010 national elections and a 2011 referendum on southern independence approach.
