Seeds of Peace

Seeds of Peace is dedicated to the pursuit of lasting peace by helping high potential youth in regions of conflict develop effective leadership in peace-building. There are more than one hundred NGOs devoted to conflict resolution and peace-building in Israel and Palestine that, while having similar or shared missions, have little to no coordination or communication between organizations. SoP has contracted HNMCP to map the scope of the peace-building community and make recommendations on a consensus-building process for organizations to leverage their individual strengths to positively impact each other’s work and their broader goals.

Office of New York City Council Member Daniel R. Garodnick

New York City Council Member Daniel R. Garodnick’s office is looking at two areas of the operation of the New York City Comptroller’s Office: the way that it resolves legal claims against the City of New York, and its audit function. HNMCP will assess whether the City is spending the right amount of time litigating versus settling cases, determine whether the best processes are being employed, and will make recommendations on how best to improve the city’s conflict management systems. It will also provide a critical review of the audit process to consider whether there are ways to make the audit more results-driven and less confrontational, and will propose an improved conflict management system for disputes arising out of the audits.

British Columbia Ministry of Justice

The Ministry of Justice’s Dispute Resolution Office (DRO) develops and promotes non-adversarial dispute resolution options within the justice system and government. It has introduced multiple initiatives that leverage the benefits of technology in this context. The DRO’s project with HNMCP will consider the role of technology-based “expert systems” to replace the analysis and actions of humans in specific subject areas—to triage disputes, help parties find pertinent information or prepare for further negotiation, and, optimally, to facilitate an early resolution to conflict.

African Community and Economic Development of New England (ACEDONE)

ACEDONE was founded in 2002 to provide support to Boston’s East African community and families as they integrate into American society. Tensions between old world and new can exacerbate the already challenging teen/parent relationship. ACEDONE has enlisted HNMCP to report on the underlying causes of such tensions in the Somali community, and to recommend techniques and develop a curriculum for effective conflict management.
