Our Strategy

At the Bulan Institute, we believe that sustainable peace can only be achieved through inclusive development, social justice, and environmental resilience. Our work is directly aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), serving as both a compass and a commitment.

We focus on the following SDGs as pillars of our peacebuilding strategy:

Our SDG Priorities:

SDG 1 – No Poverty: Tackling the root causes of vulnerability through development that lifts communities out of poverty.

SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy: Promoting access to clean, renewable energy and building local green skills.

SDG 10 – Reduced Inequalities: Ensuring no one is left behind by addressing systemic inequalities and marginalization.

SDG 13 – Climate Action: Advancing climate-resilient development to protect communities facing environmental stress and displacement.

SDG 16 – Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions: Strengthening inclusive institutions, promoting justice, and preventing conflict through dialogue and accountability.

SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals: Working collaboratively with stakeholders at all levels—local to global—for systemic change.

Core Strategic Principles :

Inclusive Development

We place equity and representation at the center, ensuring meaningful participation by all, especially marginalized and conflict-affected populations.

Context-Specific Solutions

Our work is deeply grounded in local realities, co-designed with communities to reflect their unique challenges and strengths.

Evidence-Based Advocacy

Research and data guide our engagement with policymakers, amplifying community needs with credible, actionable insights.

Sustainability & Local Ownership

Every project is designed for long-term impact, prioritizing local leadership and knowledge transfer.

Collaborative Impact

We leverage diverse partnerships—across sectors, borders, and disciplines—to amplify results and drive systemic change.
