CONCILIATION RESOURCES BEGINS

timeline-description

Conciliation Resources was established by Andy Carl and David Lord, initially
working in Fiji and Sierra Leone. The staunch conviction of our founders was
that people living in areas of violent conflict should be involved in its
resolution. Twenty-five years later, this principle still forms the basis of our
approach.

A RESOURCE FOR PEACE IS BORN

timeline-description

The first Accord publication, looking at the Liberian peace process, was
produced to analyse and share practical lessons from peacebuilding. Since then,
more than 30 Accord publications have been written covering different regions
and topics, with contributors including international mediators, government
negotiators and leaders of armed groups.

TRANSFORMING CONFLICT IN WAR-TORN SIERRA LEONE

timeline-description

In response to civil war and widespread violence, Conciliation Resources began
providing support for community mediation. Over the next 12 years, our work with
the Bo Peace and Reconciliation Movement resulted in increased community
cohesion, ‘peace monitors’ resolving hundreds of community disputes and the
reintegration of ex-combatants into communities.

EDUCATING CITIZENS IN FIJI

timeline-description

Alongside our Fijian partner, Citizens' Constitutional Forum, we produced a
cartoon-illustrated booklet explaining the country's new constitution and
electoral system. The booklet was launched by Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka and
distributed to schools across the country, significantly increasing awareness of
the changes.

PROGRESS THROUGH GEORGIAN-ABKHAZ DIALOGUE

timeline-description

In 2000, we organised the first of many informal dialogue meetings, bringing
together high-level Georgian and Abkhaz officials, politicians and civil society
representatives to discuss key issues connected to the conflict. Over the past
20 years, these meetings have fed ideas and insights into the formal peace talks
and led to tangible progress in areas of mutual interest such as education and
the environment.

OWNING THE PROCESS

timeline-description

Our Accord publication, Owning the Process, kick-started a real change in
thinking around who should be involved in peace processes. Now there is a broad
global consensus that the views and experiences of all those impacted by
conflict need to be included in finding solutions, not just governments and
armed groups. Our 2019 Accord on inclusion, delves even deeper into practically
how this can be done.

ALTERNATIVE NARRATIVES ON CONFLICT IN THE SOUTH CAUCASUS

timeline-description

Launched in 2004, our innovative radio diaries project challenged stereotypes
and gave a human face to conflict, with over 1,500 diaries broadcast across the
South Caucasus. It led to other unique initiatives such as Dialogue through
Film, which brought together more than 30 young Armenians from Nagorny Karabakh
and Azerbaijanis to make short films about the conflict that divides them.

GROUND-BREAKING RESEARCH ON TALKING TO ARMED GROUPS

timeline-description

Our 16th Accord 'Choosing to engage: armed groups and peace processes',
contributed new thinking to this hotly debated topic. Bringing together the
voices of armed groups, governments and mediators, it highlighted the importance
of communicating with armed groups for peace, despite the rhetoric of the 'war
on terror'.

TRADING FOR PEACE IN KASHMIR

timeline-description

The governments of India and Pakistan opened up the Line of Control in Kashmir
for limited trade in 2008. Conciliation Resources supported this trade,
facilitating written agreements and consolidating the development of the Jammu
and Kashmir Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry. This award-winning
initiative has built confidence and developed relationships between the two
sides, in one of the most militarised regions in the world.

REGIONAL RESPONSE TO CONFLICT IN EAST AND CENTRAL AFRICA

timeline-description

In 2008 the infamous Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) spread from Uganda, into the
border areas of southern Sudan, Central African Republic and the Democratic
Republic of Congo. In response, we established a Regional Civil Society Task
Force, bringing together people affected by the conflict from all four countries
to discuss and coordinate solutions. Over time, they developed a network that
provided early warning of LRA attacks.

COLOMBIA-PHILIPPINES PEACE EXCHANGE

timeline-description

In 2010, Colombia and the Philippines were grappling with similar peacebuilding
challenges. We arranged the first of a series of exchange visits where
politicians and professionals from both countries could learn from each other,
as well as international experts from around the world. These exchanges helped
ensure that the issues of gender and indigenous rights in particular became key
components of the formal peace talks in both countries.

HELPING ABDUCTEES RETURN HOME

timeline-description

Our work has helped hundreds of women, children, and other vulnerable adults,
abducted by the Lord’s Resistance Army to return to their communities. In 2013,
we helped the Ugandan Government introduce an Amnesty Act, which allowed some
members of the armed group to return home safely once they denounced the
rebellion and laid down their arms.

PHILIPPINES PEACE AGREEMENT

In March 2014, the Government of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation
Front signed a Comprehensive Peace Agreement after 16 years of negotiations. We
had supported the peace talks since 2009, as a member of the International
Contact Group. The new head of the Philippines Government panel said
Conciliation Resources had been instrumental in preventing the talks from
collapsing when both panels presented their draft agreements.

RESPONDING TO EBOLA-DRIVEN CONFLICT

timeline-description

Ebola was not just a health crisis. In the already tense border regions of West
Africa the epidemic, and attempts to control it, sparked fresh waves of
violence, fuelled by fear and misinformation. Our work with 18 District
Platforms for Dialogue across the Mano River Region, created spaces for
communities to discuss their grievances and be informed about the epidemic. They
helped resolve 142 conflicts between border communities, security officials and
health workers.

YOUTH BUILDING PEACE

timeline-description

In 2017, we worked with over 3,500 young people in 8 different contexts,
including Jammu and Kashmir, the Democratic Republic of Congo and northeast
Nigeria. We trained them to manage violence in their communities and empowered
them to have a voice on the conflicts that impact them. In the same year,
research we undertook in Afghanistan, Kashmir, South Sudan and the
Georgian-Abkhaz context fed into the UN’s Global Progress Report on Youth, Peace
and Security.

SECURING A PEACE DEAL IN ETHIOPIA

25 years of conflict has made the Somali Regional State of Ethiopia one of the
country’s poorest states. In October 2018, the Ogaden National Liberation Front

at the signing, as we have been for the previous seven years, supporting the
