International Crisis Group

The International Crisis Group describes itself as an independent organisation working to prevent wars and shape policies that will build a more peaceful world. It states that it sounds the alarm to prevent deadly conflict, builds support for good governance and inclusive politics, and engages directly with a range of conflict actors to seek and share information and encourage intelligent action for peace. Its published work covers regions including Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America & Caribbean, the Middle East & North Africa, the United States, and Global Issues & Institutions, and it produces reports, Q&As and podcasts. It also publishes a Strategic Direction for 2026-2030 and accepts donations from foundations, non-profits, corporations, governments and individuals.

The International Crisis Group presents itself as an independent organisation working to prevent wars and shape policies that will build a more peaceful world. It states that it sounds the alarm to prevent deadly conflict, builds support for good governance and inclusive politics that enable societies to flourish, and engages directly with a range of conflict actors to seek and share information and to encourage intelligent action for peace. It describes its work as urgently needed as the world is confronted with both new and chronic existing conflicts, and notes that efforts to resolve conflicts are complicated by a profound shift in geopolitics and the increasing prominence of non-state actors ranging from religious militants to criminal gangs. It has published a Strategic Direction for 2026-2030 laying out how the organisation will help the world navigate a period of uncertainty and volatility. Its website organises output by region — Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America & Caribbean, Middle East & North Africa, the United States, and Global Issues & Institutions — and it produces reports, Q&As and podcasts, including the Hold Your Fire! podcast. It accepts donations from foundations, non-profits, corporations, governments and individuals, and offers options including one-time donations, recurring monthly donations, PayPal, cryptocurrency, paper cheque, electronic wire or stock transfer, and legacy giving.
