Accord: an international review of peace initiatives

Our Accord publication series informs and strengthens peace processes by documenting and analysing practical lessons and innovations of peacebuilding.

Accord projects examine specific conflicts globally and common peacebuilding themes. Accord publications present case studies of experiences and insights of local and international practitioners and experts, and people affected by conflict, to build an inclusive and participatory analysis. We develop policy conclusions and recommendations for best practice.

An indispensable source…
If Accord did not exist already it would have to be invented!

Paix sans frontières: building peace across borders
War does not respect political or territorial boundaries but forms part of regional conflict systems through dynamics that cross borders: refugee flows, nomadic armed groups like the LRA, narcotic or criminal networks, blood diamonds, or psycho-social ties.
