Everyday Peace

Everyday Peace Indicators (EPI) is a nonprofit organization based in the United States that focuses on participatory research aimed at peacebuilding in conflict-affected communities worldwide. Founded in 2018 by Associate Professor Pamina Firchow, EPI utilizes a unique methodology developed over a decade to translate local understandings of peace into measurable indicators. This approach allows communities to collaboratively define what peace means to them, producing context-specific data that informs policy and practice. EPI's core service involves facilitating research processes where communities identify and create their own indicators related to peace, reconciliation, inclusion, and justice. By centering the experiences and priorities of local people, EPI generates meaningful data that reflects the social realities of those affected by conflict. The indicators developed through this process serve as valuable tools for peacebuilders, policymakers, and researchers, enhancing the effectiveness of peacebuilding initiatives and contributing to the broader field of conflict resolution.
