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.
