The Organisation

• A British non-profit organisation that focuses on policy-level dialogue supported by in-depth research.
• A strong track record of building relationships across conflict boundaries (South Africa, Rwanda and Sudan).
• An extensive network of contacts for quality research and peace-building expertise.

Our Approach

Rather than becoming involved in official peace negotiation, we aim to build relationships that pave the way for peace or contribute to ongoing negotiations or post-conflict nation-building. Our well-researched discussions move beyond the lines of confrontation to build on shared purpose and explore new possibilities for peace.

Few share our distinctive approach based on:

• Long-term transformation of relationships across conflict boundaries.
• Influential individuals meeting out of the limelight for greater flexibility and freedom.
• Informal, inclusive, low-profile consultations.
• Conscious impartiality.
• In for the long haul - not distracted by headline-making crises.
