At Interpeace, we believe in the power of collaborative effort and community‑driven solutions to address our society's deep‑seated challenges. This publication serves as a cornerstone for understanding our approach, offering insights into our programmes, method‑ ologies, and the profound impact we strive to achieve in Rwanda. As you delve into these pages, you will encounter a blend of empirical research, personal stories, and expert analysis that showcases our commitment to creating positive change. Each section is crafted to provide not only a comprehensive understanding of our interventions but also to inspire reflection and engagement.
