THE PEACE DIVIDEND |
|
| Stable Peace Requires a Peace Dividend, which is a personal, tangible benefit from peace.
|
|
| Long-term peace requires more than the absence of armed conflict. It requires human dignity, freedom from fear, and the ability to feed and raise a family. If armed groups can offer a livelihood (e.g., illegal mining) and peaceful society cannot, then communities will not be able to afford to support peace, democracy and civil society for very long. |
|
| Action 2 of Pragmora's comprehensive peace plan focuses on establishing a Peace Dividend for those civilian Congolese living in the conflict region. |
|
| In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a Peace Dividend means being able to make a living, and the peaceful return home of refugees and internally displaced persons. |
|
| Formal agreements brought peace to most of the DR Congo in 2008, but the east has never been free from conflict. Over the past 12 months, there has been a visible increase in violent attacks by various armed groups, and out of control Congolese soldiers. If the eastern provinces explode, the whole region explodes. READ ABOUT THE SITUATION IN THE CONGO |
