Networks can be described as defined fields of interaction between autonomous entities (members) that are working towards a common goal, or whose individual interests are better served within a collective structure.

In the domain of peacebuilding, networks are expanding rapidly. This allows a large field of mostly small, dispersed organizations to pull their efforts together, identify gaps, diversify approaches, plan, and sometimes implement collectively and give a louder voice to advocacy campaigns.

The Arab Partnership for Conflict Prevention (APCP) was founded in February 2005 as a response to the many looming and current crises in the Arab Region.
