Abstract
This paper presents tangible lessons that can be applied to future conflict situations by organizations engaged in community-based conflict resolution. The key steps and activities outlined below have been developed by Global Communities (formerly CHF International) since our first community-based conflict resolution program in Guatemala in 1996 through to our present day efforts. We have chosen to present case studies of Global Communities’ current USAID-funded work in Kenya – where national elections have the potential to incite large scale conflict – and nine years of the USAID-funded Community Action Program in Iraq (2003-2012).
