Projektziel

The International Crisis Group (ICG) is recognised as a leading independent source of analysis and advice to policymakers on the prevention and resolution of deadly conflicts. The overall goal is to inform and influence the perceptions and actions of policy makers and other key conflict actors through:

- expert field research and analysis and tailored policy recommendations;

- well-timed advocacy and policy engagement; and

- effective media outreach and communication.

Erwartete Ergebnisse

Through the implementation of the project, ICG seeks to achieve the following results:

I - Immediate: Enhanced understanding of conflict risks and dynamics as well as of recommended actions designed to prevent, mitigate or resolve deadly conflict.

II - Intermediate: Enhanced discussion and debate that reflects ICG analysis and/or recommendations; and increased steps taken towards modifying or implementing actions.

III - Ultimate: Increased actions taken - including the introduction, modification or implementation of policies that reflect ICG recommendations regarding potential and actual conflicts.

Long-term Impact: reduced harm to the civilian population in terms of lives lost and damage to local infrastructure and economies; and gradually increased access by the civilian population to basic levels of social goods and greater protection by the rule of law.

Hintergrundinformation

ICG was founded in 1995 with a presupposition that most key advocacy would be required in Brussels, New York and Washington D.C. Later on ICG has expanded its presences around the world, including offices in Bishkek, Bejing, Bogota, Dakar, Islamabad, Istanbul, London, and Nairobi to allow for a more integrated approach to engagement, advocacy and outreach for the prevention and resolution of deadly conflicts.
