Peace begins with understanding.

“Tibverane” comes from Cisena and means “let us understand one another.” This idea is at the heart of our work.

Tibverane Foundation is a neutral, independent and agile Mozambican organisation working at the intersection of mediation, community peacebuilding, humanitarian dialogue, inclusive development and evidence-informed policy. We work openly where visibility helps — and discreetly where trust requires it.

How we work ↗
01Locally led

Communities are partners, not beneficiaries alone.

02Impartial & discreet

Creating trusted space for difficult conversations.

03Evidence into action

Connecting analysis to practical peace outcomes.

Six pillars. One vision of lasting peace.

Six integrated pillars bring together all eleven areas of our original service offer, creating a coherent pathway from prevention and dialogue to resilience and sustainable peace.

Together, the six pillars retain the full scope of Tibverane’s eleven original service areas while integrating responsible digital innovation across the portfolio.
