The Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue (HD) is a pioneer of discreet, impartial and independent conflict mediation. As we mark our 25th year, HD is active in most of the world’s conflicts with peacemaking projects across Africa, the Middle East, Eurasia and Asia.
Working beyond the limits of traditional diplomacy, we strive for comprehensive peace agreements that reduce the human suffering caused by war and create the conditions for stability and development.
Using networks and partnerships built over many years, we engage creatively at international, inter-state and local levels in pursuit of peace.
Our expertise includes digital conflict, inclusive peace processes, environmental peacemaking and humanitarian challenges in high-risk areas.
HD’s Global Strategy 2024-2027 reflects how we are adapting to rapid shifts in geopolitics and conflict to deliver valuable peacemaking results, strengthen the practice of mediation and ensure our resilience as an agile, effective organisation.
An international body with headquarters in Switzerland, HD is a non-profit organisation funded by donors and supervised by an independent board.
HD was honoured to receive the Carnegie Wateler Peace Prize in 2022 for our record of conflict mediation and contributions to peace.
In today’s turbulent and polarised world, the need for discreet diplomacy and dialogue has never been more important.
We recruit professionals who have an entrepreneurial spirit, expertise to contribute and dedication to making a difference in mediation for peace.
Most of our teams work in regional hubs and country offices across Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Eurasia.
HD’s headquarters in Geneva provides executive oversight, drives innovation and serves the organisation with fundraising, finance, human resources, logistics and sector-leading mediation support.
HD is an equal opportunity employer committed to a harmonious workplace that is fair and inclusive.
