Concern is committed to sharing evidence-based and people-centred solutions to the urgent global challenge of conflict. In advance of the conference, Concern is preparing two thematic papers and a final synthesis report that give a platform to individuals and communities surviving and rebuilding their lives in the midst of some of the world’s most deadly – and often neglected – crises. Coupled with existing evidence and best practice, these reports will present practical recommendations for NGOs, the Irish government and international actors to develop more effective and empowering responses to conflict. They will feed into discussions at the conference and the agenda for action that arises from it.
