Concordis’ Latest Report: Promoting Peaceful Transhumance in the North of the Central African Republic
This report is based on the results of consultations with 4,220 people carried out between December 2023 and February 2024 by Concordis International (Concordis) in the prefectures of Vakaga, Bamingui-Bangoran, Lim-Pendé and Ouham-Pendé, as well as in the sub-prefecture of Markounda (Ouham prefecture).

Data-Driven Peacebuilding
Conflict is complicated, and every conflict is different. What evidence can we use to design programs that are relevant and effective, locally owned and accepted, in each unique and fast-changing context? And how do we measure our impact on peace?
Climate change and conflict if there is a 1.5°C temperature rise
We can’t shy away from it any longer – climate change is causing conflict. It is now more important than ever for peacebuilding programmes to address climate change as a key driving force behind conflict.
