AFSC has a long history of involvement on the Korean peninsula dating back to 1953. The first AFSC delegation to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK, or North Korea) was in 1980. Today, our current program works with farmers in North Korea to increase yields on cooperative farms through testing new innovations.

In Indonesia, AFSC collaborates with the Indonesian Justice and Peace Foundation (YKPI) to support partners around the country engaging in narrative change campaigning to bridge conflict divides and celebrate Indonesia’s rich diversity of religion, ethnicity, gender, social class, ability, and sexual orientation.

AFSC has more than a century of experience working with communities across the globe. In our policy and advocacy work, we bring these perspectives to the U.S. capital, United Nations, and other policy bodies.
