The Center for International Stabilization and Recovery is dedicated to cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We respect diverse life experiences and are motivated to ensure that all voices are heard and valued.

As a center focused on the exchange of knowledge, we recognize that we are improved by collaborative engagement that is brought forth from distinct and diverse experiences of all those with whom we interact.

DIVERSITY ≠ INCLUSION
DIVERSITY is the presence of difference.
INCLUSION is the accepting, respecting, and valuing of diversity.
INCLUSION requires INTENTION.

This webpage provides information and resources to help guide the humanitarian mine action sector and beyond to take an inclusive approach to their partnerships by respecting and appreciating the unique experiences of the communities they work with and focusing their efforts on closing the gap between those of different genders, races, ethnicities, disabilities, and other marginalized groups.

This is an ongoing project and we look forward to learning and growing with you. We do not have all the answers, but we are committed to continual improvement that considers others as we affirm the different life experiences of all people.
