Our Work
Center for Dialogue and Progress – Geneva (CDP-G) is a research and policy advocacy organization that studies critical socio, political, and economic development issues in fragile states. The Center is an active platform for policy dialogue of young professionals, experienced scholars, and experts whose work will inform and guide our activities and help generate solutions.
We educate, facilitate dialogue and build capacity of the civil society and foster regional cooperation on peace-building, reconciliation, and humanitarian affairs. Our experts explore and analyze pressing and critical problems, bridging the gaps between local and global knowledge and practices to develop solutions to the contemporary challenges. Transitioning to a functioning and sustainable state requires informed and active citizenry for which the Center facilitates provision of knowledge and transfer of time-tested best practices in the public interest.
