community-based conflict resolution

Community-based conflict resolution refers to processes through which members of a community come together to address and resolve disputes locally, rather than relying on formal legal systems. This approach emphasizes dialogue, understanding, and collaboration, allowing those involved to express their concerns and work towards mutually agreeable solutions. It often includes methods like mediation and facilitation led by respected community members. By focusing on relationships and shared interests, community-based conflict resolution seeks to restore harmony, strengthen social ties, and foster a sense of collective responsibility within the community.
