Founded in 1971, Center of Concern is an independent, interdisciplinary organization engaged in social analysis, theological reflection, research, education, and policy advocacy. Guided by a global vision, the Center, through its activities, seeks to promote a global community where people-centered development and a just distribution of the world's resources are acknowledged as enhancements of every human's being-in-common. In its work, the Center encourages international institutions, governments, NGOs and civil society to find new, creative ways to work together for the global common good.
