Strategic framework: 2012 to 2014

It is a dynamic time to be working in the field of peacebuilding. Conciliation Resources enters these next few years with renewed confidence and capacities that we have never enjoyed before.

We have chosen to write a strategic ‘framework’ rather than a ‘plan’ as we hope this will help to clarify our areas of core competence and more tightly define the parameters of our work, articulating a single overarching ambition.

Established in 1995, we are now a medium sized NGO, with a budget approaching £5 million and a talented team of over thirty people. Our ambitions have grown, but our aims to work through close relationships of trust with local partners remain.

Our focus tends to be on the protracted conflicts not in the headlines, the so-called ‘small wars.’ We continue to stand by our partners facing huge challenges, in a rapidly changing and uncertain world, encouraged by the fact that the number and human costs of largescale armed conflicts across the globe are steadily reducing.

Together, we can find peaceful alternatives to violence.
