• Nomadic herders
• Agropastoral and settled farmers
• Displaced populations (refugees, returnees, IDPs)
• Participants of local peace institutions

The planned phase aims to achieve:

1. Resilience to conflict is built through the establishment and/or the support of local community-based mechanisms for conflict prevention and management, with the active participation of women and youth.
2. Barriers to peaceful intercommunity relations are addressed.
3. Cross-border markets function fairly, inclusively and to mutual benefit.
4. Constructive linkages between peacebuilding work in the borderlands and decision making in the capitals are promoted.
