Today, BRAC has emerged as an independent, virtually self-financed paradigm in sustainable human development. It is the largest in the world employing 97,192 people, with the twin objectives of poverty alleviation and empowerment of the poor. Through experiential learning, BRAC today provides and protects livelihoods of around 100 million people in Bangladesh. Diagnosing poverty in human terms and recognising its multidimensional nature, BRAC approaches poverty alleviation with a holistic approach. BRAC's outreach covers all 64 districts of the country and furthermore, has been called upon to assist a number of countries including Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.

Produces monthly Dialogue Webpage for Conflicts Worldwide (DWCW) newsletter. ""Conflict prevention" will have a much more concrete meaning for the Japanese people of the twenty-first century. Citizens, as well as government, must deepen their awareness. Based on the belief that it is important to make such a contribution, The Japan Center for Preventive Diplomacy (now the Japan Center for Conflict Prevention) was founded on July 19th, 1999. Its goal is to become the driving force behind the conflict prevention activities of Japanese citizens throughout the trouble spots of the world. On February 28th, 2002 The Japan Center for Preventative Diplomacy obtained legal status as a non-profit-organization and changed its name to the Japan Center for Conflict Prevention."
