Conflict Resolution and Prevention Network

SFCG-Ukraine created Conflict Resolution Practice - from Competitiveness to Cooperation a Ukrainian/Russian-language web-based conflict resolution resource. The goal of the web site is to provide information on cooperative approaches to conflicts and existing practices and methodologies in conflict resolution. It also includes news, an on-line library, glossary, and links to other Internet resources in conflict resolution, as well as a forum for both specialists and a wider audience interested in conflict resolution. This new web site will be particularly useful for non-English speakers in NIS countries, providing information in Ukrainian and Russian. There are more than 6500 hits registered since August 2003. As may be seen from the following diagram most of the web-site visitors interested in CR news and publications in Russian and Ukrainian are from former Soviet Union countries.

We also maintain a listserve called Conflict Resolution and Prevention in Ukraine which was established as a forum for the exchange of information and ideas is relevant to those interested in the field of conflict resolution and prevention in Ukraine.

Having been on the ground in Ukraine for several years and having been involved in conflict resolution and prevention work in Ukraine virtually since the field's beginning, UCCG has an immense amount of institutional substantive knowledge and a vast network of practitioners that can and should be harnessed for the good of conflict resolution development. In developing this virtual and actual network, UCCG works to empower both established and recent Ukrainian conflict resolution and prevention practitioners to expand their capacities and share information.
