Centre For Humanitarian Dialogue (Hd)

The Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue (HD) works to prevent and resolve armed conflicts around the world through mediation and discreet diplomacy. Since 1999, HD has been fostering dialogue, securing peace agreements and reducing the human suffering caused by war to help open the way to stability and development. HD’s global reach, multi-track mediation and extensive networks allow us to work beyond the constraints of traditional diplomacy and engage all parties in pursuit of peace. From international to local, we bring together governments, armed groups, opposition parties and communities – including women and youth – to help them build a shared vision of a better future and create sustainable peace. HD has a rigorous mediation support and analysis system to track, assess and share results. We have been expanding our expertise in the digital, inclusion, environmental and criminal factors that inflame many conflicts. A non-profit organisation based in Switzerland, HD is supervised by an independent board, regularly reports to donors and files audited annual financial results. Over the last two decades, HD’s funding has come from an increasingly diverse range of donors who see the value and effectiveness of our mediation model built on independence, impartiality, discretion and innovation. We recruit professionals who have an entrepreneurial spirit, expertise to contribute and dedication to making a difference in mediation for peace. Most of our teams work in regional hubs and country offices across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Eurasia and Latin America. HD’s headquarters in Geneva provides executive oversight, drives innovation and serves the organisation with fundraising, finance, human resources, logistics and sector-leading mediation support. HD is an equal opportunity employer committed to a harmonious workplace that is fair and inclusive.
