Missio Austria

Project Location

Jos North, Bokkos, Barkin Ladi, and Riyom

The project focused on supporting communities in four key local government areas – Jos North, Bokkos, Barkin Ladi, and Riyom – to rebuild trust and promote grassroots dialogue. We recognized that trust was the foundation of peaceful coexistence, and that grassroots dialogue was essential for resolving conflicts and promoting social cohesion.
Through our initiative, we facilitated community-led dialogue initiatives that brought together individuals from diverse backgrounds to discuss issues, resolve conflicts, and build trust. We supported the establishment of community-based peace structures that promoted grassroots dialogue and conflict resolution. By empowering local leaders and community members with the necessary skills and knowledge, we enabled them to facilitate dialogue, resolve conflicts, and promote peace.
Ultimately, our goal was to foster a culture of tolerance, respect, and understanding among community members, promoting a sense of shared humanity and common purpose. By working together with these communities, we helped build a stronger foundation for peaceful coexistence and social cohesion.
