The community model

A model for addressing root causes and building resilience

Three commitments hold the model together, and they are what partners can expect from working with us.

  1. Community ownership

    Committees and volunteers come from the localities themselves, so activities continue after an intervention ends.

  2. Local mechanisms first

    Rather than replacing traditional conflict resolution, the initiative strengthens what communities already trust.

  3. Neutral and accountable

    Neutrality, independence, transparency and accountability are the conditions for being accepted in every locality.
