What we do in West Africa

West Africa

A Bo Peace and Reconciliation Movement meeting in Benduma Bagbe chiefdom, Sierra Leone

Conciliation Resources has worked in West Africa since 1996, mostly in southern and eastern Sierra Leone during and after its 10-year civil war. 

Our jointly planned work with community groups and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) underscores the important role we believe local people have in transforming their own violent conflicts and achieving lasting peace.

We work with marginalized people to develop effective solutions to social, economic and political problems, understanding the value this has for tackling the root causes of conflict. Our work includes:

  • peacebuilding in local communities, helping partners organize community reconciliation meetings, supporting their project management of peace monitoring and conflict mediation activities in south eastern Sierra Leone, and working with traditional authorities in the country to help resolve conflict points.
  • rebuilding young people’s lives after war through our youth drop-in-centre in Kenema and work with local youth organizations to help young men and women develop conflict resolution skills, sustained livelihoods and become respected by their communities.
