Decentralised dialogue in the Central African Republic
There is a growing recognition that long-running, complex conflicts cannot be sustainably resolved by top-down peace processes or headline deals at the national level. Local drivers of violence also need to be addressed, so that unresolved community grievances do not generate new waves of violence or undermine national settlements. The Central African Republic (CAR) provides a clear illustration of both the need for and potential of bridging the gap between the local and national in peacebuilding.

Supporting women’s advocacy for truth and reconciliation as part of building lasting peace in Liberia
Nearly two decades since the end of conflict in Liberia, women’s voices aren’t being fully heard as the country strives for truth and reconciliation. Conciliation Resources, as a partner of the Women Peace and Humanitarian Fund’s Rapid Response Window, is supporting the awarding of short-term grants to two civil society organisations - the Women’s NGO Secretariat of Liberia (WONGOSOL) and Liberia Future Trust (LiFT) - with the aim of making the national reconciliation process more inclusive.
