Mission & Interests
Goals: The International Crisis Group is an independent organisation working to prevent wars and shape policies that will build a more peaceful world. Crisis Group’s reports, and the advocacy associated with them, aim to have direct impact on conflict prevention, management and resolution across the world.
There are five main ways in which Crisis Group plays a key role in preventing and resolving conflict: (1) Ringing early warning alarm bells; (2) Producing independent and expert analysis helping policymakers to do better in preventing, managing and resolving conflict; (3) Providing objective analysis and detailed actor mapping unobtainable elsewhere; (4) Offering new strategic thinking on some of the world’s most intractable conflicts and crises; and (5) Focusing international attention on forgotten conflicts and peacebuilding processes when the world’s attention has shifted elsewhere.

Activities
Main EU Legislative Proposals: Crisis Group monitors EU policy toward countries and conflicts covered by Crisis Group. Crisis Group also monitors the development of EU strategies and policy frameworks related to the prevention of conflict and crisis management, such as the European Peace Facility, the European Neighbourhood Policy, the EU Global Strategy and the EU Strategic Compass, external dimension of the Green Deal, and the Integrated Approach, European Commission financial instruments, development cooperation policy, etc. Crisis Group regularly engages with EU officials across EU institutions, briefing them on developments on the ground and providing advice at the EU's request.
Communication Activities: Crisis Group publishes comprehensive reports and timely commentaries to inform the EU decision making and shape the European public debate on how to limit threats to peace and security. Crisis Group works and engages with heads of government, policymakers, media, civil society, and conflict actors themselves to sound the alarm of impending conflict and to open paths to peace.
Between January 2020 and December 2022, Crisis Group has implemented the project "Strengthening EU Early Warning, Conflict Prevention and Crisis Response", awarded by the European Union for a duration of three years, under the European Commission’s Instrument contributing to Stability and Peace (IcSP). This project aimed to support the EU to better act, alone or with others, to prevent the emergence, re-emergence or escalation of violent conflict around the world, and improve its responses to crises and violent conflicts, establishing conditions for long-term peace and security. The project covered countries or situations of potential or actual conflict, covered by Crisis Group’s global operations, while also noting the EU priorities. In this framework, Crisis Group produced reports and written analysis, including an annual early warning Watch List, which is presented at our flagship Watch List Launch event once a year. In addition, Crisis Group also organized roundtables and conferences, early warning advocacy meetings and calls, and policy dialogues.
In December 2021, Crisis Group launched a project under the EU Emergency Trust Fund for Africa, focused on the Sahel and Lake Chad Basin. The objective of the project is to improve strategic decision-making, programme design and implementation processes aimed at addressing insecurity in West Africa by the EU and Member States, based upon in-country research and independent analysis and policy recommendations. In this context, Crisis Group produces high-quality, field-based reports and publications, and provides conflict and context analysis in briefings with the EU.
