Accord  Conciliation Resources' Accord Programme aims to support the efforts of those directly involved in transforming armed conflict into opportunities for sustainable human development, by responding to the ongoing challenge of informing and enhancing peace processes around the world.

 

Working collaboratively with locally-based organisations, the Accord Programme aims to document peace processes and initiatives and the sources and dynamics of particular conflicts; increase public access, both locally and internationally to the understanding of peace processes and peace agreements promote learning, domestically and internationally from past and comparable peace making experiences
