Peace and Collaborative Development Network (PCDN) was founded in 2007 by Georgetown University professor, Craig Zelizer...[1] It is an online network, used to foster connections, share information and inspire the work of those in social change.[2] The network currently has 35,000 members from over 180 countries and territories.[3]

History and Purpose

Founded in 2007, PCDN originally started as a platform to connect people working in international development and peacebuilding.[4] In 2015, it launched PCDN 3.0 and expanded to cover the broader social changemaking fields which includes peacebuilding, international development, social entrepreneurship, social impact, gender mainstreaming and many other related areas.[2] The 3.0 platform provides additional ways for members to receive information, locate fellow members, search for job, find relevant opportunities and provide more space for engagement.[5]

PCDN is a membership driven platform. Membership can be individual or organizational. As a member, users can create a profile, contribute to discussions, create blog posts, chat with fellow members, or post information about jobs, research, questions, conferences and events.[6][7] There are also a large number of guides available to members to help members be successful in their careers.[8] Guides include topics such as careers, funding, research, social media/tech, and practice.[9][10]

PCDN has office space at Washington, DC’s 1776 , a start-up incubator.[9][11]

The network attracts more than 100,000 unique visitors each month and over 300,000 website hits a month.[12][13]
