Between November 2021 - October 2025, Interpeace and its partners in Rwanda: Haguruka, Prison Fellowship Rwanda and Dignity in Detention (DiDE) implanted a holistic peacebuilding initiative to build resilience from within by addressing trauma, restoring trust, and strengthening the social fabric of communities affected by the Genocide against the Tutsi and its legacies.

Titled “Reinforcing Community Capacity for Social Cohesion and Reconciliation through Societal Trauma Healing’ programme” was implemented in the districts of Nyabihu, Musanze, Nyamagabe, Nyagatare and Ngoma funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).

Aligned with Rwanda’s Vision 2050 and National Policy on Unity and Reconciliation (2016), it contributed to the country’s long-term goal of building a cohesive, inclusive, and resilient society through community-based healing, dialogue, and reintegration approaches.
