Bringing together traditional and modern methods of peacebuilding

Read this booklet online.

Since 1995 Conciliation Resources has worked in Sierra Leone with the Bo Peace and Reconciliation Movement (BPRM) – a community voluntary peacebuilding union.

Over a decade later, BPRM are recognized nationally for helping prevent and resolve over 1000 cases of armed violence and community disputes.

This illustrated book documents BPRM's work and the lessons learned, with case studies to show how traditional and modern methods of peacebuilding can be successfully brought together.

Published November 2007 by Conciliation Resources. Written and designed by Rosalind Hanson-Alp, West Africa programme coordinator.
