Caucasian Institute for Peace, Democracy and Development (CIPDD)

http://www.cipdd.org

Aims

The CIPDD is a non-governmental and not-for-profit public policy think-tank promoting sustainable peace, prosperity, and freedom. There are two large areas in which it is active: democratic transformation and institution building, and creating foundations for sustainable peace and security. CIPDD has several focal areas in which its expertise is stronger: these are issues of ethnic and religious minorities, local governance, civil society development, civil diplomacy and confidence building, civil-military relations and security sector reforms.

Activities

CIPDD conducts policy research, issues publications, and organizes conferences, workshops and roundtable discussions. The CIPDD also caries out training exercises in areas of its expertise. The CIPDD is mainly active in Georgia. However, it is also involved in cooperative projects in the South Caucasus and Black Sea-Balkans area. CIPDD often works in partnerships and coalitions with other civil society organisations, Georgian or foreign. The CIPDD often cooperates with Georgian government and international organisations.

Publications and other Resources

The website features articles available at no cost in PDF format in English or Georgian (depending on the article). A small number of research reports and conference proceedings are also available to download in PDF format at no cost.
