When conflict erupted among four chiefdoms in the territory of Irumu, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), community members feared the worst.
However, the timely intervention by a local peacebuilding organisation, the Centre Résolution Conflits (CRC), deescalated the conflict through a series of dialogues and negotiations among the territories.
The case cited above is one of the many actions CRC has implemented
since April 2021 under the Tuishi Amani (‘Let us Live in Peace’) project,
in partnership with Peace Direct and with financial support from the
People’s Postcode Lottery (PPL).
This learning summary highlights the key successes and lessons learned from the Tuishi Amani project. It is based on the findings of an internal evaluation conducted by CRC in May 2023 covering the Tuishi Amani project activities from April 2022 to March 2023 and a series of
learning conversations between CRC and Peace Direct.
