Vision, Mission and Values
Vision
Our vision is that every community affected by armed conflict has the resources it needs to manage the conflict peacefully.
Mission
- Establishing relationships of trust with people involved in or affected by armed conflict.
- Facilitating difficult conversations between people belonging to opposing factions.
- Enabling people to find workable solutions that address the root causes of conflict and contribute to lasting peace and economic development for mutual benefit .
- Include women as well as men, those who are part of armed groups as well as those who have chosen not to take up arms, national governments as well as civil society.
- To leave a legacy of sustainable mechanisms for the peaceful management of future conflicts.
Values
We are committed to transformative justice and peacebuilding, supported by the values of Concordis:
- Humility – we recognize that we do not have all the answers, that there are different ways to deal with and resolve conflicts, and that our contribution should be part of a broad commitment from a number of people and organizations.
- Impartiality – we act in a consciously non-partisan manner.
- Inclusivity – we promote the active participation in our dialogues of people representing as many currents of opinion or interests as necessary. We work creatively to give a voice to people and groups who might otherwise be marginalized because of their gender, age, or ethnicity.
In the performance of its duties, in its relations with its staff, and in matters of governance and financing, Concordis:
- Acts with honesty, integrity and transparency and encourages accountability.
- Prioritizes the well-being of all people involved in its operations, both staff and beneficiaries.
- It engages consciously with both women and men, values diversity and recognizes the gender-specific dynamics of conflicts.
- Is professional and respectful of others, recognizing the importance of building relationships.
Information on the Central African Border Zones Programme:
The program aims to prevent and mitigate the impact of local conflicts in the border areas of the Central African Republic (CAR), Cameroon, Chad, and Darfur, Sudan. All four countries are heavily reliant on agro-pastoral activities, particularly cross-border transhumance: the seasonal movement of livestock across borders in search of good pastures.
The four-year program aims to address the root causes of instability and conflict in Central Africa, particularly those associated with the practice of transhumance, by improving the resilience of cross-border communities, strengthening local and border security and promoting local dialogue, conflict resolution and cross-border cooperation.
The program builds on the work that Concordis has been doing with local communities in CAR and Sudan for more than ten years and which it was recently invited by local representatives to extend to the border areas of Chad and Cameroon.
The program has three specific objectives:
- Managing agro-pastoral conflicts in border areas by establishing and/or supporting local community mechanisms for conflict prevention and management, with the active participation of women and youth.
- Reduce illegal activities and agro-pastoral conflicts in and around protected areas (including national parks) near the border by establishing effective working partnerships between managers of these areas and local actors.
- Strengthening cross-border local governance and contributing to local and high-level dialogues on conflict resolution and peacebuilding.
The program’s activities will include:
- Consultation studies to understand the needs of local communities and identify the factors of conflict.
- Strengthen or establish local advisory groups for conflict prevention and management and to build the resilience of local communities.
- Workshops to address the root causes of conflicts and identify ways to transform conflicts.
- Training of protected area managers, including national parks, and local communities using the areas in conflict resolution and mediation to enable them to identify and resolve tensions and conflicts around park use.
- Facilitating cross-border agreements, building on the success of existing agreements, particularly the Laws of Commitment between the local authorities of the CAR and Chad.
The nature of this regional program means that the approach will change depending on the local nuances of the conflict. This flexibility will be essential in Darfur, Sudan, where activities may need to be adapted quickly in response to a rapidly evolving context.
