Our partners in the South Caucasus Conciliation Resources promotes local ownership and responds to local needs and analysis in all our work. This means engaging in meaningful partnerships, with real give and take. We plan and carry out our activities in partnership and/or consultation with relevant official, political and civic actors on all sides of the conflict divides. Working with partners is invaluable for gauging sensitivities and realities on the ground and trying to expand possibilities for change. Consultation allows our partners and us to test analysis and strategy and ensure local needs are met. We aim to develop relationships that allow partners to challenge each other’s assumptions and in turn be challenged about their own ideas.
