Concordis works alongside those involved in or affected by armed conflict, helping them find workable solutions that address the root causes of conflict and contribute to lasting peace and economic development. We’re committed to finding solutions that benefit women as well as men, those in armed groups as well as those who chose not to take up arms, national governments as well as civil society.

We are committed to transformational justice and peacebuilding, underpinned by Concordis’ values of:

• Humility – we recognise that we do not have all the answers, that there are different ways of dealing with and resolving conflict, and that our contribution should be part of a broad engagement by a number of people and organisations
• Impartiality – we act in a consciously non-partisan manner
• Inclusivity – we promote active participation in our dialogues from people representing as many strands of opinion or interest as are appropriate.  We work creatively to give voice to people and groups who might otherwise be marginalised by reason of gender, age or ethnicity.
