This report, originally in Portuguese, is a translation and synthesis of the ideas, views, and perspectives of the participants who took part in the consultations on the obstacles to peace and causes of conflict in Guinea-Bissau. The report also contains testimonies and statements made by participants as a way of illustrating important issues and concerns. The report is structured around the four categories (national issues, regional issues, cross-cutting issues and emerging issues) and the formulation of issues that came out of the consultations (Ineffective state institutions and bad governance; Poverty; Poor administration of justice; and Tribalism).
