Much progress has been made: military dictatorships have been overthrown and civil wars ended; yet the extremely unfair division of wealth and resources in many countries breeds conflict and threatens democracy and peace.

NCA has a regional office in Guatemala that oversees activities in Guatemala, Nicaragua and Cuba. After the devastating earthquake of January 2010, we have also established a country office in Haitis capital Port-au-Prince.
