Programme 03

Community Peace, Reconciliation & Social Integration

Helping communities and institutions build trust, resolve tensions and create sustainable relationships.

MindMe International works with communities, businesses, institutions and other stakeholders to build trust, resolve tensions and develop sustainable relationships.

The programme responds to situations where communities may experience conflict, mistrust or difficult relationships with businesses, industries, plantations, institutions, government or other organisations.

MindMe can serve as an independent community engagement and cohesion partner: bringing stakeholders together, listening to different perspectives, facilitating dialogue and helping develop practical and sustainable frameworks for coexistence, inclusion and shared opportunity.

The programme brings together peacebuilding, reconciliation, community participation, economic inclusion and resilience.
