Shamil Idriss, CEO of Search For Common Ground (SFCG), sees in conflict the unique potential for collaborative problem solving. “Peace is more than the absence of tension, it’s the presence of justice,” says Idriss. “Conflict can be an opportunity for reaching out to understand the other and build a better future together.” The SFCG approach was recognized in 2018 with a Nobel Peace Prize nomination. Working on the frontlines of the world’s worst conflicts since 1982, SFCG pioneered the field of peace building. From Burundi to Myanmar, SFCG has started from a basic premise: conflict is inevitable, but violence is not.
