Brick by Brick: Building social cohesion


Through the Brick-by-Brick project, Interpeace has supported youth, women, and vulnerable groups in implementing environmentally friendly and climate-sensitive income-generating activities (AGRs). This initiative aims to prevent conflicts and strengthen social cohesion in the border region between Mali and Burkina Faso.

For many years, this area has experienced tensions related to the exploitation of natural resources. In addition to creating economic opportunities, AGRs foster collaboration, cohesion, and peace.
