Peace Building and Reconciliation Program
Founded in 1998, Africa Peace Point has gained extensive experience in peace building and reconciliation initiatives in kenya and on the Horn of Africa. This instability stems from a variety of factors including weak government; ethnic, religious and political divisions; large populations of unemployed and unengaged youth; and depressed or declining economic opportunities. Working on reconciliation is critical for peace building and conflict prevention as it focuses on (re)building and transforming relationships damaged by violent conflict and oppression. Unless action is taken to repair harm resulting from past violence, and to work toward a fair and interdependent future, peace will remain elusive. This briefing paper distils learning from the extensive available research and practice on coming to terms with the legacies of past violence and the complex subject of reconciliation. It provides explanations, diagrams, suggestions and examples for policymakers and practitioners working on reconciliation in conflict-affected contexts or considering such work. We believe that conflicts can be avoided through mediation and by bringing together opposing sides to resolve a dispute.
