There is already a high demand for a dialogue-based process that can facilitate the return of IDPs into their former communities.
This project builds on an existing government programme of activities facilitated by the existing dialogue team of the Ministry of Social Solidarity, and aims to strengthen and expand the size, scope and capacity of the team, which has been supporting the promotion of dialogue since the inception of the former government’s Simu Malu programme.The project aims to address the root causes of conflict in communities through a national dialogue process that focuses on issues of conflict management, and State and Nation building.
