Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue

The Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue (HD Centre) began operations in August 1999 and is today one of the world's most influential conflict mediation organisations. From its beginning as a venue in Geneva, Switzerland, where discreet discussions took place among those who had a practical impact on humanitarian policy and practice, the HD Centre has evolved into an independent global mediation organisation, with a presence in Europe, North America, Africa and Asia. Its aim is to help alleviate the suffering of individuals and populations caught up in both high-profile and forgotten conflicts, by acting as mediators and by providing other mediators with the support they need to work effectively.

Centre For People's Forestry

Centre for People's Forestry was established in the year 2002 to develop and ground sustainable forest management mechanisms for enhancing livelihood security of the marginalised sections among the forest dwellers/dependents. The sustainable forest management envisioned in the National Forest Policy framed in 1988 demands effective participation of communities and NGOs in forest management. CPF has been a platform for regular interaction for communities, NGOs, government officials and other stakeholders to debate and arrive at meaningful footings/conclusions on issues that have not been given adequate attention.

Centre For Safety And Development

In a world where the need for help grows ever greater, respect for aid organisations and other NGOs is rapidly decreasing. We see that NGO staff run ever-greater risks of becoming victims of violence and conflict. This will jeopardise the continuity of aid operations and prolongs the humanitarian suffering. We believe in helping humanitarian organisations to strengthen their safety and security. They should be able to work and travel in insecure regions. That way those who need help can indeed be helped, even if they are in a dangerous area.

Centre For Science And Environment Cse

We do this through our research and by communicating our understanding through our publications.

Over 80,000 young people will experience homelessness in the UK this year. This is a worryingly high figure, which doesn't include many of the 'hidden homeless'.
