International Crisis Group
The International Crisis Group is an international, non-profit, non-governmental organization of one hundred staff memebers. Their mission is to prevent and resolve deadly conflicts through field-based analysis and high-level advocacy.
When a country is at risk of outbreak, escalation, or recurrence of large scale violence, ICG dispatches teams of political analysts into or close to the area of conflict. Based on the information these teams gather, the organization creates analytical reports with recommendations targeted at various world leaders and organizations. In addition to this work, ICG publishes a 12-page monthly newsletter, Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari. Its President and Chief Executive since January 2000 has been former Australian Foreign Minister Gareth Evans. Their international headquarters are in Brussels, and they have advocacy offices in Washington DC, New York, London and Moscow. ICG currently operates seventeen field offices in Amman, Belgrade, Bogotá, Cairo, Dakar, Dushanbe, Islamabad, Jakarta, Kabul, Nairobi, Osh, Pretoria, Pristina, Quito, Sarajevo, Skopje and Tbilisi and has analysts working in over 40 countries and territories in conflict across four continents. ICG is funded through donations by governments, foundations, corporations, and individual donors.
