International Crisis Group

Published purpose

CIDA is providing program support to the International Crisis Group, an international non-governmental organization, aiming to prevent conflict and mitigate the impact of existing conflicts. The organization supports and reinforces the efforts of national governments, as well as the United Nations and other international and regional organisations, to build lasting peace and prevent and contain the outbreak of further conflict by: 1) providing a source of informed, independent analysis of key trends and developments on the ground; 2) generating practical, specific policy recommendations aimed at advancing and supporting conflict resolution, peace processes and state-building efforts. 3) mobilizing political support in conflict-affected countries, in their surrounding regions, in key capitals in Europe, North America and the international community at large for the implementation of policy recommendations to build peace and prevent conflicts.
