African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (ACCORD)

http://www.accord.org.za

Aims

ACCORD is an international civil-society organisation working throughout Africa to bring appropriate African solutions to the challenges posed by conflict on our continent.

Activities

ACCORD provides training nationally and internationally, in urban and rural areas and has included decision-makers of the state and leaders of communities. This training has been collaborative, involving work with United Nation Agencies such as UNIFEM and on behalf on the Organisation of African Unity (OAU). ACCORD also has a Research Unit with a permanent staff supported by up to five African and international interns. Ongoing monitoring of all conflict situations across Africa is undertaken on a daily basis to generate ACCORD's Conflict Watch and Renaissance Barometer reports. In depth situation reports are also complied in response to the requirements of ACCORD's directorate. ACCORD also runs a number of "special projects" that are smaller in scale and duration.

Publications and other Resources

ACCORD publishes the Conflict Trends magazine and the African Journal on Conflict Resolution. All articles from both publications are available as free downloads in PDF format.
