About the logo
The Board of the FPCD spent considerable time developing the identity of the Foundation.
One area of focus was in developing a logo that accurately and symbolically represented
the goals of the FPCD. In the fall of 2005 a logo design company was commissioned
to professionally project the image of the Foundation by embodying the FPCD mission
statement.

Post Conflict Development Mission Statement
EDUCATION * ACTION * DEVELOPMENT
The mission of the Foundation for Post Conflict Development (FPCD) is to fulfill
the Millennium
Development Goals: eradicate extreme poverty and hunger; achieve universal primary
education; promote gender equality and empower women; reduce child mortality; improve
maternal health;
combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other infectious diseases; ensure environmental sustainability;
develop a global partnership for development and fulfill the aims of the United
Nations Charter in the context of post conflict situations. Through direct
education, action and development or
the promotion of a global partnership for such efforts, the FPCD is dedicated to
assist post conflict countries with projects necessary for their reconstruction,
among them the
demobilization /disbanding of child soldiers, reintegration of war veterans, the
creation of meaningful employment and cultural preservation.
EDUCATION
Countries emerging from conflict have special needs, and the FPCD raises the public’s
awareness of these needs. The FPCD, through its comprehensive website, newsletters,
organization of/ participation in conferences, roundtables, training programs and
seminars, promotes the work of the United Nations in this area and the work of the
newly established Peacebuilding Commission.
The FPCD collects and recounts data on countries emerging from conflict; and informs
on the post conflict development activities of the United Nations, relying heavily
on the UN Development Programme’s Human Development Report, the yearly publication
that presents accurate development statistics, which determine the quality of life.
ACTION
Individuals with demonstrated need in one of the areas listed in FPCD’s mission
statement are provided with funds or gifts-in-kind. Support may be provided
to non-governmental organizations in countries emerging from a conflict situation
that require assistance in one of the areas listed in FPCD’s mission statement.
The FPCD will make site visits, where necessary, to assess needs and ensure that
its assistance is delivered.
The FPCD endorses a culture of acceptance at all levels and contributes to programs
that teach these values. The FPCD takes action to eliminate prejudice and discrimination
by promoting gender equality, the empowerment of women and cultural tolerance.
DEVELOPMENT
Post conflict areas are more vulnerable to interruptions in development, so FPCD’s
developmental operations benefit those countries that need it most. The foundation
helps relieve suffering and builds healthier communities, while helping these communities
become better equipped to educate themselves, ensuring a more peaceful and prosperous
future.
The Foundation for Post Conflict Development is a civil society partner in improving
global development and seeks to work with organizations that place development as
a priority.
