Concordis International is a non-profit organisation (UK Charity Commission Number 1105697) that works alongside and in support of official peace processes, where they exist, to improve the potential for lasting peace.〔( Peacemakers: Building Stability in a complex world ) (Dixon, IVP 2009), ISBN 978-1-84474-402-2, pp.107-122.〕 The organisation has headquarters in London, and offices in Cambridge, and country-offices in Juba more widely in South Sudan and Nouakchott, Mauritania. Concordis' historical roots are in peacebuilding work by the Newick Park Initiative in South Africa (1986–91) and in post-genocide Rwanda (1994-7).〔〔 Much of Concordis’ work now focuses on Sudan and South Sudan,where, initially as Relationships Foundation International, the organisation have been working since 1999.〔Hauss, C. , The Continuum International Publishing Group Inc, 2010. (International Conflict Resolution )〕 Concordis remains actively engaged there both nationally and with respect to regional conflicts, including Darfur. There is an emphasis on gender awareness within programmes and women from Darfur and elsewhere in Sudan have played a prominent role in the process.〔 ==Methodology== Concordis International’s interventions are based on unofficial dialogue between and across different levels of society on different sides engaged in or affected by violent conflicts. The dialogue focuses on the issues surrounding the causes and consequences of conflicts and is informed by expert contributions and research. The aim of this is to: *Build trust across lines of conflict and social divisions *Facilitate consensus building on the basis of shared interest *Contribute positively to negotiation processes *Create the climate for more general peaceful relations Concordis’ work is guided by: *A commitment to justice and reconciliation grounded in the Christian roots of the organisation's history *Conscious impartiality as a facilitator *Recognition of the need for sustained, long-term engagement.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Concordis international」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
