Peacebuilding & Social Cohesion
Promoting peaceful coexistence, strengthening social cohesion, and supporting community-led conflict resolution in fragile and conflict-affected contexts.
The Challenge
Across Somalia and other fragile contexts where PHASE operates, conflict, social fragmentation, and resource-based tensions continue to undermine stability and development. Competition over scarce resources, displacement, and weak local conflict resolution mechanisms often lead to disputes that disrupt livelihoods and erode trust within and between communities.
Our Response
PHASE implements peacebuilding and social cohesion programmes that strengthen dialogue, support conflict resolution, and promote inclusive community engagement. Our interventions aim to reduce tensions, build trust, and create platforms for communities to address shared challenges collaboratively.
Key Interventions
- Community dialogue and conflict resolution forums
- Strengthening local peace structures and mechanisms
- Inter-community engagement and reconciliation initiatives
- Youth involvement in peacebuilding activities

Our Approach
