We transform conflict in the digital age.

At the intersection of peacebuilding and technology, Build Up uses new tools for old problems, and old tools for new problems. We implement programs, conduct research, and develop technical solutions to engage with conflict and build societies in which everyone can thrive.

We organise our work in three program areas

Inclusive Politics

We provide support to political processes at the intersection of peacebuilding and democratization, using participatory methodologies, digital technologies and peacebuilding expertise.

Digital Conflict

We analyze how digital technologies and AI are contributing to conflicts, develop programming to address the impact of these digital harms on conflict, build the capacity of other organizations to do the same, and work with national and global policymakers to bring a peacebuilding lens to digital governance.
