Overview
Mission
To serve as a resource to rotarians, rotary clubs and districts by supporting the peace work of rotarians worldwide.
What it reported doing in 2024
*peacebuilder clubs: this is a flagship program for the rotary action group for peace (ragfp) to recognize clubs as peacebuilder clubs if they have two members who are paid members of the ragfp and are on the peace committee. The committee members seek to educate themselves using the many tools, programs, and videos available from the ragfp, rotary international and the institute of economics and peace. They then share their knowledge in the club so that members can see that every project which they undertake has a peace element.*ragfp chapters: ragfp chapters serve as regional hubs that advance peacebuilding through locally driven initiatives, collaboration, and engagement within rotary's global network. Chapters bring together rotarians, rotaractors, and partners to design and implement projects that respond to the specific needs of their communities, while remaining connected to the broader mission of ragfp.through regular activities, events, and partnerships, chapters play a key role in strengthening the visibility and impact of rotary's peacebuilding efforts at the regional level. They also provide an accessible entry point for members to engage more deeply with ragfp, fostering leadership, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas across geographies.as the network of chapters continues to grow, they are becoming an increasingly important pillar of the ragfp ecosystem, supporting the development of new initiatives, reinforcing connections between peacebuilder clubs, and contributing to a more coordinated and impactful global peacebuilding community.*global meetings of peacebuilders: the ragfp hosts bi-monthly global meetings of peacebuilders, designed to be accessible across all time zones. Each session cycle is offered three times within the same day, with identical content, ensuring global participation.each meeting focuses on a specific peacebuilding topic, highlighting diverse aspects of the rotary peace ecosystem, including the work of ragfp chapters, peacebuilder clubs, the ri cadre, and featured projects from around the world.beyond knowledge-sharing, these meetings serve as a space for connection and exchange, bringing together rotarians, rotaractors, and peace practitioners. They are open to all engaged in rotary's peace ecosystem and provide a valuable platform for networking, promoting peacebuilder clubs and ragfp chapters, and welcoming new members into the ragfp community.*peace park at the rotary international convention in calgary, canada (2025): the peace park served as a vibrant community space for connection, learning, and engagement for peace-minded participants attending the rotary international convention in calgary.the peace park is designed to:1. Raise the profile of rotary's peacebuilding efforts;2. Strengthen visibility and collaboration across rotary-affiliated peacebuilding organizations andinitiatives;3. Foster collegiality and provide meaningful networking opportunities within the global peacebuilding community.building on the strong engagement and participation seen in previous years, the peace park in calgary is expected to welcome thousands of convention participants and further expand its role as a central hub for rotary's peacebuilding ecosystem.*other developments: during fy25, ragfp successfully launched a new website, enhancing the organization's digital presence and improving accessibility to key information, resources, and programs. In parallel, ragfp undertook a platform transition to centralize its membership database into a single system. This transition has streamlined membership management, improved data accuracy, and strengthened the overall efficiency of operations, supporting more effective engagement across the global ragfp network.
