About Cord
Cord is an international charity working to make peace a reality where people don’t have the freedom to exercise their rights. We work to build the relationship between those in power and local communities.
We believe that people flourish when all parts of society work together. Peaceful relationships make that possible. The simple act of talking begins a journey of growth which transforms mistrust, includes the excluded and turns adversaries into allies.
Cord operates in eight countries and implements programmes in the following areas:
- Empowering Women & Girls
- Accessing Fundamental Freedoms
- Climate & the Environment
- Economic Empowerment
- Supporting Stronger Societies
We are a small, committed team who love working together to make a huge impact. A 2026 global staff survey returned very positive feedback about Cord as a place to work with strong expressions of belonging, purpose and value, and with 97% of staff saying that would recommend Cord as a great place to work.
