The IPES philosophy is built on the proposition that peace is both a security outcome and an economic asset. Our mandate, therefore, is to promote the understanding of peace as a strategic economic asset and economic systems as enablers of sustainable peace.
IPES theory of change states that: "Peace enables development. Development reinforces peace. Security protects both. Institutions coordinate all three."
The Academy is organized into interdisciplinary departments that integrate research, executive learning and professional practice to address contemporary governance, diplomatic, economic and development challenges.

Develop competencies to analyse international affairs, formulate foreign policy, manage diplomatic relations and advance national and institutional interests through bilateral, regional and multilateral cooperation. This framework strengthens strategic statecraft, geopolitical analysis, negotiation and international representation in an increasingly interconnected and complex global environment.

Participants develop competencies in mediation, dialogue facilitation, security governance, military-civil cooperation, crisis response and collaborative approaches that foster peaceful, secure and economically resilient communities and institutions.
