30 Years of ACCORD
Promoting dialogue towards building peaceful coexistence in an interdependent world: ACCORD seeks to encourage and promote the constructive resolution of disputes, by the peoples of Africa, and so assist in achieving political stability and socio-economic recovery, within just and democratic societies, towards peaceful co-existence.
