The Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue (HD) continued to expand its operations in 2016, responding to a growing demand for its experience and skills in engaging with those involved in armed conflict, particularly hard-to-reach groups. By the end of 2016, HD had more than 40 ongoing projects in over 25 countries, working at the heart of the world’s most dangerous conflicts in Africa, the Middle East and Europe, as well as East and Central Asia.
HD’s mediation initiatives are detailed in its Annual Report 2016, released today. The report provides a concise overview of the organisation’s operations along with updates on its governance and funding. It also includes an essay in which its Executive Director, Dr David Harland, reflects on the international response to armed conflict.
