Overview
As part of the PEACEPLUS Action Plan, NMDDC will deliver a series of Collaborative Interaction Programmes under Strand 2 – Thriving and Peaceful Communities. Strand 2 comprises eight priority projects that collectively aim to build capacity, develop leadership, strengthen cross community relationships, provide social and emotional support, and deliver inclusive events, festivals, and community justice initiatives.
Within this strand, the Sustaining Cross Community Relations Programme seeks to build on the relationships, trust, and learning developed through previous PEACE and Council programmes. The programme will consist of seven standalone projects, one in each District Electoral Area (DEA), and will focus on engaging individuals and communities who have been less involved in peacebuilding to date—particularly those living in or affected by contested spaces.
To deliver seven standalone cross community projects—one in each DEA—engaging individuals and communities who are not typically involved in peacebuilding. Through structured contact, facilitated dialogue, and capacity building, the programme will strengthen relationships, empower communities, and support the development of shared visions for local areas. This work will contribute to the gradual removal of psychological and physical barriers and promote long term reconciliation.
The programme will also help communities identify key issues affecting them, create safe opportunities for dialogue, and address behaviours or tensions that may exclude or intimidate individuals based on religion, race, or other identity factors.
