The Alternative Rural Development initiative supports people affected by violent conflicts to achieve lasting peace. Conflict dynamics in the region is both vertical and horizontal, including between clans and sub-clans, with a diversity of conflict drivers. There are intricate and deep systems for peacebuilding and conflict resolution, which OSDA will seek to draw on, while also seeking to diversify mechanisms and promote social cohesion.
Interventions will include activities such as peace and civic education, conflict resolution training and reconciliation initiatives. Support for women to engage in peacebuilding and conflict resolution more effectively will also be delivered. The Alternative Rural Development initiative will seek to capture lessons learned and community-based approaches to institutionalize broader peacebuilding and conflict resolution.
We work with various community groups, traditional peacemakers, and governmental agencies to transform social conflicts into opportunities for peaceful change.
