Conciliation Resources

Our programmes seek to contribute to building more peaceful societies through enhanced analysis and comparative learning as well as supporting and implementing targeted and adaptive peacebuilding projects. As part of our regional work, we undertake comparative learning events, bringing together people to share knowledge and resources on relevant conflict issues in the Pacific. In Fiji, Conciliation Resources has been working in partnership with Civil Society Organisation (CSO) partners to address the climate change and conflict nexus with a focus on community-level peacebuilding and advocacy in the context of environmental change, displacement and relocation. Similar work is now developing in CR’s PNG and Solomon Islands programmes. The programmes also support CSO partners with their organisational development including grant / financial management, fundraising, development of peacebuilding resources and policies, strategic planning and monitoring, evaluation and learning.
