About us
An Introduction to Responding to Conflict (RTC)
Responding to Conflict is a non-governmental organisation that works to transform conflict and build peace. We believe local people are best placed to find their own ways of dealing with conflict.
Since we began in 1991, RTC has:
- established itself as a leader in the field of conflict transformation.
- trained practitioners from more than 70 countries including those from some of the worlds most violent conflicts.
-
provided specialist advice and consultancy services to the governments of the UK, Australia, Japan, the United Nations Development Programme, and leading International NGO's and charities such as Oxfam GB, Christian Aid, AGEH, Care International, CAFOD, the American Friends Service Committee and a variety of Red Cross national societies.
-
designed and managed long-term programmes in the Middle East, the Balkans, East Africa and South East Asia. We are currently facilitating and working with partners on programmes in Nepal, as well as providing long-term support to programmes and projects in Kenya and the Middle East.
-
published the handbook "Working with Conflict: Skills and Strategies for Action", which has been acknowledged as a key resource for practitioners, trainers and academics throughout the world and has been translated into 8 languages.
