Community-Based Conflict Prevention

Community-Based Conflict Prevention refers to proactive strategies implemented at the local level to address and resolve tensions before they escalate into violence or conflict. This approach involves engaging community members, encouraging dialogue, and fostering cooperation among diverse groups. By identifying underlying issues—such as inequality or resource disputes—communities can develop tailored solutions that promote understanding and collaboration. This method emphasizes local ownership and capacity-building, empowering residents to manage conflicts in a constructive way, ultimately contributing to peace and stability within the community.
