Good citizen projects

Our firm commitment is to “To build a dynamic, vibrant and durable state of peace at all times everywhere. For peace is a right and not an option”

Management Foundation for Organization Research and Development (Manford) was established in 1993 to meet the growing human developmental needs of individuals, institutions and organizations across the globe. A fundamental principle Manford have always believed in is to give back to society. It is in this context that the Good Citizens' Project was initiated and executed through the establishment of the Manford Center. This has been supported by participants who attend the Corporate Breakthrough Programme.

A non business initiative, Manford facilitators and volunteers have dedicated a portion of their time and income to these projects focusing on Peace Education, Mediation and Capacity Building for Conflict Resolution.
