3D Security Initiative

The 3D Security Initiative is a policy voice for civil society and conflict prevention with a new take on human security:
    • Connecting policymakers with global civil society networks and detailing specific policy options on conflict prevention & principled negotiation.
    • Engaging in civil-military dialogue to foster a 'whole of community' approach between interagency development, diplomacy, and defense personnel and civil society leaders.
    • Keeping defense, diplomacy, & development programming separate to avoid the militarization of foreign policy.
    • Increasing public and private investments in conflict prevention, peacebuilding, sustainable development and principled diplomacy as preventive security strategies.
