in the future.

• Peace building involves bringing together of
institutions that enable parties in a conflict
resolve their now and in the future.

6. STRATEGIC PLAN
• Peace building is not a one off activity. It is a
planned activity directed towards achieving
harmonious co-existence among people. A
strategic plan to address future conflicts
should be devised.

7. PEACE BUILDING AS A TRANSFORMATIVE PROCESS
• Physical damage is very noticeable-destruction of
building, displacement of individuals and
communities, absence of public services and
deaths.
• Psychological damage is below the surface and is
the most dangerous. More often it is ignored.
• Acknowledging the local culture and the way of
life are basic in the recovery process. Any
interventions should be based on full
considerations of the realities in the ground.
