Who we are

Conciliation Resources (CR) is an international non-governmental organization registered in the UK as a charity. We work mainly in the Caucasus, Uganda and West Africa in partnership with local and international civil society organizations and governments. We also publish Accord: an international review of peace initiatives and are involved in projects in Colombia, Fiji and the Philippines. Our funding is through grants from governments, independent trusts and foundations.

Our goals are to:

• support people working at local, national and international levels to develop effective solutions to social, economic and political problems related to violent conflicts
  
  
• provide opportunities for inclusive dialogue and improved relationships within communities and across conflict divides at all social and political levels
  
  
• influence governments and other decision makers to employ conflict transformation policies that promote alternatives to violence
  
  
• improve peacemaking practice and policies by promoting learning from peace processes around the world
  
  
• challenge stereotypes and increase public awareness of human rights, conflict and peace issues in divided societies

We also play an active role in British, European and global peacebuilding networks and initiatives including the Committee for Conflict Transformation Support, the Peace and Security Liaison Group (UK), the Alliance for Peacebuilding (USA) and the BOND Conflict Policy Working Group (UK).
