What we do
Our Services
The main themes that we focus on are peace and conflict transformation, governance and diplomacy in Africa, development assistance and humanitarian aid, gender and human rights, security and strategic studies, but work is progressing on issues relating to West and East African studies and transitional justice and post-conflict reconstruction. Each project operates at multiple levels, from accompaniment of grassroots organisations in regions affected by conflict through to national and international policy formulation.
