The Carter Center
Waging peace, fighting disease, and building hope worldwide since 1982. https://www.cartercenter.org
The Carter Center, in partnership with Emory University, is guided by a fundamental commitment to human rights and the alleviation of human suffering; it seeks to prevent and resolve conflicts, enhance freedom and democracy, and improve health. While the program agenda may change, The Carter Center is guided by five principles:
*The Center emphasizes action and results. Based on careful research and analysis, it is prepared to take timely action on important and pressing issues.
*The Center does not duplicate the effective efforts of others.
*The Center addresses difficult problems and recognizes the possibility of failure as an acceptable risk.
*The Center is nonpartisan and acts as a neutral in dispute resolution activities.
*The Center believes that people can improve their lives when provided with the necessary skills, knowledge, and access to resources.
*The Carter Center collaborates with other organizations, public or private, in carrying out its mission.
