Appendix B: About the International Crisis Group
The International Crisis Group (Crisis Group) is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organisation, with some 120 staff members on five continents, working through field-based analysis and high-level
advocacy to prevent and resolve deadly conflict.
Crisis Group’s approach is grounded in field research. Teams of political analysts are located within or
close by countries or regions at risk of outbreak, escalation or recurrence of violent conflict. Based on
information and assessments from the field, it produces analytical reports containing practical recommendations targeted at key international, regional and national decision-takers. Crisis Group also publishes
CrisisWatch, a monthly early-warning bulletin, providing a succinct regular update on the state of play in
up to 80 situations of conflict or potential conflict around the world.
Crisis Group’s reports are distributed widely by email and made available simultaneously on its website,
www.crisisgroup.org. Crisis Group works closely with governments and those who influence them, including the media, to highlight its crisis analyses and to generate support for its policy prescriptions.
The Crisis Group Board of Trustees – which includes prominent figures from the fields of politics, diplomacy, business and the media – is directly involved in helping to bring the reports and recommendations
to the attention of senior policymakers around the world. Crisis Group is co-chaired by President & CEO
of the Fiore Group and Founder of the Radcliffe Foundation, Frank Giustra, as well as by former Foreign
Minister of Argentina and Chef de Cabinet to the United Nations Secretary-General, Susana Malcorra.
Comfort Ero was appointed Crisis Group’s President & CEO in December 2021. She first joined Crisis
Group as West Africa Project Director in 2001 and later rose to become Africa Program Director in 2011
and then Interim Vice President. In between her two tenures at Crisis Group, she worked for the International Centre for Transitional Justice and the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General in Liberia.
