PEACE RESOURCE COLLABORATIVE (PRC)

The Peace Resource Collaborative (PRC) was established in 2014 - as a joint initiative of eight academic institutions - to provide knowledge, expertise, and skills to help transform the conflict in the Deep South of Thailand/Patani. The collaboration of the eight institutions started in 2011 with the creation of the "Insider Peacebuilders' Platform" (IPP), a diverse network of individuals from within region as well as from other parts of Thailand, who were keen to explore and share ideas around the peaceful settlement of the conflict. In 2017, the IPP network created a governance structure of its own through the annual election of an IPP Committee. Following this restructuring, PRC continues to support the IPP by providing academic content and administrative oversight. In the same year, PRC decided it would start to broaden its scope of work beyond the Deep South of Thailand/Patani. This was in recognition of the fact that society, in general, would benefit from a better understanding..
