Approach and intervention

Approach

The programme implementation is supported by various strategies developed to ensure its effectiveness and sustainability:  

  • Conduct research to design evidence-based and context-sensitive interventions that can inspire other actors (government and non-governmental) programmes and strategies on trauma healing, social cohesion, and socio-economic resilience in Rwanda.
  • Develop scientific and contextualized tools (protocols and curricula) based on identified needs.
  • Using community facilitators who are trusted individuals selected from within the targeted communities to lead healing dialogues.
  • Strengthen local capacities through partnerships with community-based organisations and public health institutions.
  • Reinforce mental health and psychosocial coordination network from local to central level, to facilitate integration of mental health and psychosocial support into existing policies and infrastructure.
