Timea Szarkova's Company Details
Concordis International is a peacebuilding charity. We work 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 have offices in London in UK, Paoua in Central African Republic and Nouakchott in Mauritania.We have been engaged in the Sudan/South Sudan region since 1999, including facilitating inclusive dialogue on Darfur and Eastern Sudan. Our current focus is mostly on the Sudan/South Sudan border areas, where we are mitigating conflict by facilitating agreements between migrating nomadic pastoralists and settled agriculturalists. Women play a prominent role in our processes. Elsewhere in the world, we are working on:• Côte d'Ivoire, where we assist the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission in breaking the 20-year cycle of political violence, initially with Ivorian diaspora and more recently in-country.• Mauritania, where we are developing work with civil society leaders on drivers of conflict, including competition for land, the reintegration of returning refugees and unpicking the legacy of slavery. We have 4 staff here.Previously, the organization (as NPI) established confidential dialogue that contributed to the peaceful ending of South African apartheid, and subsequently in Rwanda, developing consensus among senior Tutsis and Hutus on agricultural recovery and post-conflict justice and reconciliation. More broadly, we actively cooperate with others active in security, peacebuilding and development, for example through the Alliance for Peacebuilding, EPLO and other forums and by contributing to the development of peacebuilding practice.
