We are peacebuilders.

Concordis staff support those who live where conflict is fought and felt.

We work hand in hand with communities, helping them find workable solutions that address the root causes of conflict and contribute to lasting peace and economic development.

We are committed to finding sustainable solutions that benefit all those involved: women and youth, as well as men; local administrative authorities, community leaders, and civil society; those who choose to take up arms and those who don't.

We engage for the long term to build trusting relationships, and leaving a legacy that enables future conflict to be managed peacefully within the community. We work to our values of humility, impartiality and inclusivity.

Conservation and peace in Central African Republic

Even before the outbreak of civil war in the Central African Republic more than a decade ago, issues like poaching, wildlife trafficking, and armed violence have threatened both wildlife and local communities in the country’s national parks and protected areas. While perhaps not immediately obvious, efforts towards forging peace are intertwined with protecting the environment. As part of its peacebuilding work, Concordis has been bringing together local settled communities, herders, and ecologists to address these challenges and try to find a common vision of peace.

Food Security as a Peacebuilding Tool

In northern Central African Republic, the cassava root is more than just a crop—it's a lifeline. Farmers like Sidonie face daily challenges to protect their produce from animals and conflict. But thanks to new drying facilities being built by Concordis, communities will be able to safely process and trade cassava—tackling food insecurity, generating livelihoods and promoting peace between social groups.
