Strengthening the ability of grassroots communities to participate in decisions and actions that affect them most provides a solid platform for peaceful and stable societies.

We work with people at local communities to strengthen their capacity and knowledge to advocate for responsive and responsible governance, respect for the rule of law, human rights and civic participation through the electoral process.

Peacebuilding & Nonviolence Action is our major program area. Nonviolent approaches inform our mission and all our programme work.

Our work around peacebuilding and nonviolence is based on the pursuit of society where conflicts and injustices are resolved amicably and nonviolently. Together with grassroots communities, government agencies, stakeholder in the public and private sectors, we partner to influence nonviolence social action and create change at the grassroots and policy levels.

Underdeveloped communities are predisposed to injustice and violence. Societies ravaged by poverty are at significant risk of conflict.

The driving forces around conflict and injustices, like corruption leads to deterioration and destruction of public infrastructure, disrupts trade and economic undertaking, distort markets and reverses decades of development.
