The Foundation for Post Conflict Development is an NYC-based NGO that conducts field work in countries emerging from conflict situations. They take a multi-faceted approach by coordinating health, educational, artistic/cultural, and economic development projects that are complemented by academic/historical research in East Timor, Madagascar, the Caucusus region, Jordan, Morocco, and other countries.

For our kickoff event, come watch a 20-minute documentary on nation-building in East Timor following civil war. Afterwards, Executive Director of FPCD, Ms. Claudia Abate, will speak about the exciting work that FPCD is doing to directly address issues that have arisen in this setting, with a focus on health. Ms. Abate worked at the United Nations for 13 years before coming to FPCD and has extensive experience in foreign policy.

Also come hear about opportunities to be involved in these efforts! More information about FPCD is available at http://www.postconflictdev.org/
