Globally, there are virtually no other organizations doing what we do. Using the Common Ground Approach, we build, equip and support local teams to generate cooperation and trust-building between communities in conflict. The teams themselves are composed of people who come from across conflict lines.
Consider for a moment the power of being a multi-partial party. We are not “impartial” or “neutral” – in fact, we are just the opposite. Our colleagues are deeply connected to the people they are bringing together and are from these communities. This forms a powerful multi-partial team that advocates for the dignity of all community members.
If you missed it, this is our official statement.
