Peacebuilding, Community Stabilization and Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration

IOM Mozambique’s Peacebuilding, Community Stabilization and Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration programme seeks to strengthen the ability of communities to prevent and manage the negative effects of violent conflict and support processes that address the root causes of conflict. These programmatic responses focus on under- standing the social, economic, resource or political dynamics that drive insecurity and tension in communities through participatory assessments that can inform community-based solutions. Through local stakeholders, IOM Mozambique targets communities vulnerable to, or affected by violence, with activities that promote reconciliation, social cohesion and youth participation.
