Apartado Postal 1995, Lima 1 / This activity seeks to contribute to the positive transformation of social-environmental conflicts associated with extractive industries in Peru through the promotion and legitimatization of the culture of dialogue and the development of capacities conducive to generating a climate of trust between local and national stakeholders involved in the mining, oil and gas industries. In addition, it seeks to stimulate the generation of inclusive, practical public policies based on best practices that support good governance
and responsible corporate action.The project seeks to replicate and expand the experience over the last ten years of the National Dialogue Group on Mining and Sustainable Development, or the Dialogue Group (GDMDS), creating a similar space for the oil and gas sector and the Amazon. Regional Dialogue Groups on mining will be supported in Apurímac, Arequipa and
Cajamarca. The project will promote meetings and national dialogue initiatives
associated with the mining, oil and gas sectors that promote engagement amongdistanced stakeholders.

Email: / In partnership with the Eastern Gaza Society for Family Development Edgework Consulting, CARE is bringing together individuals of different ethnic, religious, and/or political backgrounds in people‐to‐people activities that address the root causes of tension and instability.
Over two thousand children, ranging in ages from nine to thirteen years, have benefited from program curriculum, a cadre of trained adults and a dynamic network that builds and reinforces the pro-social skills which are critical to successful conflict mitigation and management. Children who complete the six month program, families, and other key adults in the community exhibit significant improvement in social skills and attitudes that lend themselves to positive citizenry; trust, cooperation, communication, kindness, respect for rules, respect for other’s property, understanding other’s feelings, and responsibility for one’s actions – the skills that mitigate conflict.

Email: / The CALMER project was a USAID funded peace building project which aimed to: reduce incidences of violence in Bairo Pite through strengthening local level leadership; address the root causes of conflict, developing community-based mechanisms for conflict mitigation; and promote active participation by all sectors of the community. CALMER worked with various stakeholders in the community to development a framework for engagement with the gangs in an effort to transform violent MAGs into constructive organizations that utilize the potential of youth for the benefit of the wider community.The activities of the CALMER project were divided among two teams: the Training and Capacity Building (TCB) team and the Community Outreach (CO) team. As part of their functioning the TCB team provided training and capacity building to various elements of the community who were best positioned to promote peace building but lack the necessary skills or tools to do it. In parallel with this the CO team engaged in various community activities and monitoring exercises to increase the level of social cohesion in the community.
