Dialogue
Safe spaces for discussion and learning about engagement with armed groups.
Agenda setting and facilitation
Our strength lies in setting the terms of meaningful exchange. Drawing on our regional expertise, grounded analysis and extensive networks, we craft focused agendas that encourage solution-oriented discussion. We have supported dialogue processes across a range of sectors, from humanitarian access to cultural heritage protection and from climate governance, with a focus on bringing together actors who rarely have safe spaces for exchange to enable progress within a changing global system.
Logistics and coordination
The Centre on Armed Groups has observed and analysed the outcomes of a vast number of dialogue and engagement processes between governance actors. We collate this broad experience, as well as our access to and expertise on such actors, to design meaningful engagement and coordinate the practical logistics involved in platforming dialogue. This ranges from venue selection, ground transport logistics, visa process support, and on-hand assistance during dialogue to ensure that the finest details are attended to, contributing to making sure discussions and engagement is at its best.
