Conciliation Resources is an international organisation committed to stopping violent conflict and creating more peaceful societies. Since 1994 we have worked with people impacted by war and violence, bringing diverse voices together to make change that lasts. We connect the views of people living and working amidst conflict with political processes, and share experience and expertise so others can find creative responses to conflict.
