APPG on Conflict Issues
In 2006 mfp helped to establish the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Conflict Issues (APPGCI) in the UK Parliament as a forum for dialogue across the political spectrum on issues relating to conflict, especially on the practical means to prevent, transform and resolve violent conflict. An advisory group to the APPGCI was formed soon after and comprises senior officials from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Ministry of Defence, and the Department for International Development, as well as senior politicians and representatives from a number of leading peace and conflict NGOs.
mfp provides the secretariat to the APPGCI.
The purpose of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Conflict Issues is 'To encourage dialogue, on the basis of expert information and opinion from across the political spectrum, on issues relating to conflict; especially on the practical means to prevent, transform and resolve violent conflict.'
