From the Chairman

John McDonald The year 2007 has been another good year for IMTD, financially, thanks to the contributions from Dan Whalen, David Douglas and our first corporate sponsor, Al Marchetti, of Hess Oil Company and, substantively, as highlighted below. After a year and a half of effort and with the approval of Lt. General Frances Wilson, Commandant of the National Defense University at Fort McNair in Washington DC, we started in January, teaching a course called “Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding.” This was a first in the history of the US Military. The NDU is the senior, year-long training program for Colonels and senior civilian government officials. The twelve week long elective was so

successful that we were asked to teach it again in the Fall.

In March Dr. Borris and I were invited to a conference on “The Future of Kashmir”, in Islamabad, Pakistan. At that meeting I proposed that IMTD convene a small group of Kashmir leaders, from both sides of the Line of Control, to develop a document identifying their hopes for their own peaceful future. We are seeking funding for this.

In June I was invited by the Prime Minister of Equatorial Guinea to be a member of his newly created Social Development Fund Advisory Council to help develop projects, financed by their new-found oil revenue, to help his people.

In October, thanks to the help of our newest staff member, Dodge Fielding and Hess, we launched a new program called “Score for Peace”, which is designed to build peace through sports, starting with Libya.

It has been a productive year for peacebuilders.

IMTD Annual Report 2007 1

From the Director of Training

Eileen Borris From the Director of Training As I think back over the past year the theme of forgiveness and reconciliation are foremost in my mind. A few months ago I went to Liberia. This is a country dealing with the aftermath of 14 years of civil war yet the Liberian people are full of hope about the future. This hope is in part due to the new government with Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf as their new president and that the Liberian culture supports the forces of forgiveness. This is a traumatized country. Pain and violence have impacted the lives of all Liberians and is also a universal response to their collective trauma. People must heal from this trauma and yet we also need to recognize that collective healing involves much more than healing individuals and relationships. It involves tapping into the depth of their culture which supports healing and resolving conflict on a collective level. For the Liberians this could mean reviving the Palava Huts and using story, song and dance to help in the healing

process of the nation and to teach about forgiveness. While I was in Liberia, I gave a week long training in conflict resolution, trauma healing and forgiveness. I teach a model called the “Trauma Healing/Forgiveness Model” because the process of trauma healing and forgiveness are very similar. Work in both trauma healing and forgiveness begin with creating a safe environment and sharing one’s “traumatic” narrative with others who will be supportive and listening deeply to what is being said. outpouring of this inexplicable love. This is the power of forgiveness. As Thomas Merton once wrote, “that to live, one must die, that the demons of possessions, attachments, and other ill-conceived goals and objects must disappear so that a re-birth may occur. The Liberians are learning about this. They realize that their hatreds must die. And when this happens, this triggers a newfound peace, a true joy, a feeling of freedom permitting one to focus on what is truly important in life – love and compassion for others.”

(For those interested in learning more about how to forgive you may be interested in Eileen’s book “Finding Forgiveness: A 7 Step Program in Letting go of Anger and Bitterness” published by McGraw-Hill and available on Amazon.com.)


DAI Partnership Since 2005, IMTD has been in a partnership with Development Alternatives, Inc. (DAI) as a conflict analysis and resolution subcontractor for a 500 million USD initiative by the United States Agency for International Development’s Conflict Management and Mitigation section to expand conflict resolution practices in the development sector. Ambassador McDonald and DAI’s Crisis Mitigation and Recovery section have met several times to discuss areas of collaboration on conflict resolution and peacebuilding projects, which has led to the creation of the DAI/IMTD partnership initiative for USAID projects.

Collaboration on projects has been augmented recent travel by IMTD with DAI Teams to Cuba and Niger Delta region to assess the potential for conflict resolution projects in those region.

The IMTD/DAI partnership is intended to assist USAID missions through rapid program response, specialized technical assistance, capacity building, and research on the dynamics of conflict. IMTD has joined with the DAI Team to work within a taskforce on Conflict Prevention, which also includes the African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (ACCORD), Search for Common Ground, Carr, Swanson and Randolph, LLC, and Evidence Based Research, Inc. Other taskforces include Peacebuilding and Conflict Management sections.

The Global Peace Index IMTD, in conjunction with the Alliance for Peacebuilding and The Economist Intelligence Unit, have partnered to create the Global Peace Index. The Global Peace Index formally launched on May 30, 2007, with simultaneous launches at the National Press Club in Washington DC and in London. The launched of the Peace Index received widespread media attention, with more than 450,000 press stories written about it in more than 100 countries. The launch generated a terrific interest on the World Wide Web as well, with www.visionofhumanity.com receiving more than 11 million hits in its first month. The purpose of the Global Peace Index is to provide a quantitative measure of peace that can be compared and analyzed over time. It is intended to inspire and influence world leaders to engage in action that improves their country’s rankings.

IMTD staff members attend the inauguration of the Global Peace Index at the National Press Club in Washington, DC IMTD plans to expand on the current Global Peace Index initiative include: expanding the current criteria to include a category entitle ‘Women in Society’; developing an academic curriculum to be taught at the university level on the Global Peace Index; and to adapt the project to rank the 50 states of the United States, which could serve as a model for other sub-national or regional analyses in other countries. To that end, IMTD staff have met with noted experts in conflict analysis and resolution and peacebuilding from American University, George Mason University, Johns Hopkins University, New York University, and Salisbury University to adapt the Index for the United States.

IMTD and the U.S. Military In the summer of 2005, IMTD Chairman John McDonald was asked to write a chapter in a book that was being published by the American Bar Association’s Section on Dispute Resolution. Through his association with that project, Ambassador McDonald learned that the military curriculum did not include peacebuilding and conflict resolution training. In the fall of 2005, Ambassador McDonald asked Dr. Alan Whitaker of the Industrial College of the Armed Forces (ICAF) if IMTD could put together to train Colonels and senior civilians at ICAF in Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding. After many deliberations with the faculty and administration at ICAF, IMTD staff began teaching a weekly course in conflict resolution and peacebuilding at ICAF that ran for three months, and has since been expanded as a National Defense University (NDU) course taught at Fort McNair, in Washington DC.

This groundbreaking initiative is the first academic course on conflict analysis and resolution and peacebuilding ever taught in the history of the military establishment. In October, Ambassador McDonald was asked to brief and consult with senior military officers and conflict resolution and peace building projects at the Army and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. During this trip, he was able to meet with Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who congratulated Ambassador McDonald’s work, and said “We need more of this.” Ambassador McDonald intends to continue this highly successful program with another course, scheduled for Spring 2008.


Libya In May of 2006, the United States took the historic step of reopening diplomatic relations between the United States and Libya. Renewed diplomatic ties bolstered IMTD’s efforts to bridge the gap in cultural awareness between the United States and Libya. Retired US Major John Fuller, a local soccer coach has proposed the idea of a soccer match between the US and Libya as a way to promote the growth of positive relations between the two countries. Mr. Fuller and IMTD recently arranged for Jamal Saleh El Jaafari, President of the Libyan Football Federation, to visit the United States in August to discuss the initiative further. IMTD, DC United and the Libyan government are currently discussing possible timeframes and logistics for an exhibition match between the Libyan national team and DC United to be held in Tripoli.

IMTD’s efforts have been bolstered by the support of Al Marchetti, Vice President of International Relations for the Hess Oil Corporation. In light of improving US - Libyan relations, IMTD is exploring new opportunities for new initiatives which could enhance citizen diplomacy and cooperation between the United States and Libya. IMTD is exploring the possibility of expanding the initiative to other regions in conjunction with Hess Oil operations where improving friendships can make a difference. DC United has also expressed interest in participating and expanding its global fan base.


Niger River Delta Project

In 2006, Mike Godfrey, Practice Manager for the Crisis Mitigation and Recovery unit at Development Alternatives, Inc. (DAI) approached IMTD to consult on a facilitation project between youth groups and militia in Nigeria in the Port Harcourt region, which has been particularly affected by the conflict. For many years, Nigeria has been faced with conflicts arising from poverty, the collapse of infrastructure, environmental degradation, and the allocation of oil revenue from the oil-rich Niger Delta. A meeting was held in 2006 to assess the situation. Twenty people attended a meeting chaired by General Owoye Andrew Azazi, Chief of the Defense Staff of Nigeria. As a result of the meeting, the Niger Delta Peace Forum (NDPF) was initiated. IMTD consultant Noa Davenport traveled to Nigeria in January 2007, and facilitated a second meeting, which was attended by more than eighty people, many of them leaders of youth groups and militias involved in and affected by the conflict.

IMTD Consultant Dr. Noa Davenport speaks to the participants At the end of the meeting, the participants pledged to work for peace in the region, and General Azazi agreed to bring the message of the participants to President Obasanjo. Mr. Ken Etete also committed to establishing a support structure for the Niger Delta Peace Forum and its initiatives. Since that time, Mr. Etete has opened an office for NDPF in Port Harcourt, and hired local staff to oversee its operation. In addition, a branch office for the NDPF was opened in October 2007 in Washington, DC. IMTD continues to remain committed to the project, and looks forward to continuing to work with DAI, Century Energy Services (a local partner), and all of the parties to the conflict to help bring peace to the region.


Equatorial Guinea

In April 2006, President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo established the Social Development Fund to oversee the distribution of his country’s new-found oil wealth for the benefit of the people of Equatorial Guinea. He asked the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to assist in the creation of projects in the areas of health, education, women’s affairs, drinking water and sanitation, and the environment. In September of 2006, Prime Minister Ricardo Mangue Obama Nfue contacted IMTD to request that Ambassador McDonald join the Advisory Council of the Social Development Fund as an International Advisor.

Ambassador McDonald visits in Equatorial Guinea Ambassador McDonald traveled with Brian Atwood, former USAID Administrator under President Bill Clinton, in June to meet with representatives from DAI, USAID, and the United States Embassy to Equatorial Guinea, as well as representatives from the ministries involved in the projects. At the meeting, ten projects were selected for further development. A second assessment and planning trip is scheduled for the Spring of 2008.


Kashmir IMTD has been involved with Kashmir since 1995 when two retired Lieutenant Generals, from India and Pakistan respectively, visited Ambassador McDonald and asked him to “solve the Kashmir conflict”. Ambassador McDonald immediately realized that ‘solving’ the Kashmir conflict was an enormous task that was well beyond the task of one organization, but he knew that IMTD could help the people of Kashmir. IMTD staff began brainstorming ways to help work towards peace in Kashmir. IMTD, in collaboration with a politically inclusive NGO in Pakistan, the Kashmir Institute of International Relations (KIIR), began to train politicians at the local and ministerial level in conflict resolution skills and methods of collaborative communication. IMTD has now prepared a core of cooperative-minded leaders with

communication skills to effect positive change within their respective parties, and within the Azad Kashmir government. In March of 2007, Ambassador McDonald and Dr. Eileen Borris were invited to a conference on “The Future of Kashmir”, in Islamabad, Pakistan. At that meeting Ambassador McDonald proposed that IMTD convene a small group of Kashmir leaders, from both sides of the Line of Control, to develop a document identifying their hopes for their own peaceful future. The project has also resulted in an initiative by scholars to create the first joint history of the Kashmir region from the multiple perspectives of the people that live in the region to emphasize common history and traditional links between communities separated by the Line of Control.


Water for the Poor Act On December 1, 2005 President Bush signed into law the Senator Paul Simon Water for the Poor Act (H.R. 1973). For the first time in our history the Department of State has made drinking water and sanitation a major foreign policy goal of the United States, Ambassador McDonald and IMTD are currently working with the State Department USAID and other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to ensure successful execution of H.R. 1973. Ambassador McDonald believes that to be properly implemented H.R. 1973 requires an individual, with the rank of Ambassador, to be appointed to the Office of the Under Secretary for Global Affairs in the State Department. This Ambassador would coordinate development of strategy and oversee implementation of the new law. An Ad Hoc NGO Advisory Committee would also be put in place to advise the Ambassador on the development and implementation of strategy. Ambassador McDonald has a long history of involvement with worldwide water issues. He was integral in launching the first United Nations Decade of Drinking Water and Sanitation (1981-1990) while at the State Department. The goal of the Decade was for all people in the world to have access to safe drinking water and sanitation.

The Decade was very successful as it provided 1.1 billion people with access to safe water and 769 million people with access to improved sanitation. In 2002, Ambassador McDonald proposed the launching of a Second UN Water Decade. The Ambassador of Tajikistan agreed to the role of government sponsor for the IMTD initiative and the Second UN Water Decade, “Water for Life” (2005-2015), began on World Water Day, March 22, 2005. It has been two years since the Second Decade was launched, and unfortunately, little has been done by the UN to implement the Decade’s goals. Ambassador McDonald is pushing hard on all fronts to ensure that the project happens. Ambassador McDonald has long realized the importance of providing clean water and sanitation to the world’s poor, water issues have only recently begun to be seen as a vital and necessary prerequisite to sustainable development. Not only is water needed for basic survival, but its links to health (e.g. HIV and diarrhea), security (e.g. conflicts over water in the Middle East), and economic growth (e.g. freeing women, the water carriers, for more productive work) prove that water is an essential component of development. The Water for the Poor Act and the UN Water for Life Decade are historical opportunities for making realizable the goal of clean water and sanitation for all.


Asia Dialogues IMTD hosts several important dialogue groups that bring together individuals from China, Japan, and Korea to discuss issues of mutual interest. Since 2005, there have been Koreas-Japan dialogues, China-Japan Dialogues, as well as dialogue groups dealing with the issue of Taiwan.

The Koreas-Japan discussion confronted some of the most well known issues, including the role of education in shaping an environment conducive to reconciliation, the differing perceptions of Yasukuni Shrine, the Dok-doh/Takeshima islands controversy,

and how to construct relations with North Korea.

The Korea-Japan dialogues continue to be an invaluable educational forum for all involved and have provided a comfortable network of people with which to discuss these issues at length. IMTD plans to continue the dialogues in 2007 to address ongoing shifts in relationship between Asian countries and advocate for the peaceful exploration and resolution of historic tensions.


A dditional Ongoing Efforts

In addition to the featured programs, IMTD has a number of ongoing projects or projects in development. These projects often come at the behest of governments, or parties to a conflict. including:

1. Middle East Conflict Management Center – Amman Jordan: This Center would be established under the auspices of Prince El Hassan in Jordan and would be the first regional center in the Middle East dealing with conflict management to which all people in the region would have access.

2. Government of Tibet-in-Exile Training: The Chairman of the Cabinet of the TGIE

has requested that IMTD develop a 12-15 month training program for young diplomats

Publications The Institute for Multi-Track Diplomacy is committed to the concrete practice of conflict resolution. The Institute recognizes that practice must be informed by well-designed theory. Through its books and occasional papers, over the past decade IMTD has made an important contribution to multi-track diplomacy's written record. IMTD's early publications explored guidelines for newcomers to Track II diplomacy and the personal role of peacemakers working in active war zones. Its publications offerings have grown to include two books (a third is on the way), nineteen occasional papers, and two manuals for participants in multi-track diplomatic activities. IMTD's trademark publication is Multi-Track Diplomacy: A Systems Approach to Peace. Written by IMTD co-founders Louise Diamond and John McDonald, the book, first published in 1992 and now in its third edition, explores the diverse facets of effective international peacebuilding. Multi-Track Diplomacy has remained in wide demand: Every year it is ordered for use in classrooms, seminars, and public events across the country and around the world, and it is now being translated into Chinese and Japanese. Peace Trails in Bosnia, a book about one American businessman's extraordinary effortsto help bring peace to the Balkans by funding conflict resolution training and leadership programs for young Bosnians from across all ethnic and religious lines, will be released next year.
