Background
CARDI experience in the field has found that conflict-affected communities have not automatically returned to the practices in peace-time due to mistrust between community groups (based on alignment with differing warring parties during the conflict) and a lack of confidence in, or apathy vis-à-vis, community-driven initiatives.
To address the problems described correctly, CARDI will intervene at the village level to strengthen “community cohesion” and “(re)establish linkages” between rural conflict-affected communities and service providers. By contributing to strengthened cohesion and recovery at the village level, the project seeks to contribute toward the broader goal of peaceful return, reintegration, and recovery in conflict-affected communities in Aceh.
An experienced and well-supported field team will needed to work intensively with a limited number of villages to rebuild community institutions and best practices for community dialogue, problem-solving, and joint action. At the same time, the project seeks to reconnect these communities, which have largely been left out of post-tsunami and post-Helsinki recovery efforts to date, with broader networks of service providers, resources and programs for recovery and reintegration, and information on the peace process.
