Support to peace processes

The end of a conflict does not guarantee an immediate return to stability. As a Swiss humanitarian aid NGO, FSD supports initiatives that promote reconciliation, cooperation and trust-building between former parties to the conflict, helping to strengthen the foundations of lasting peace.

Rebuilding cooperation and trust

In countries emerging from conflict, fear, division, and mistrust often persist long after the fighting has ended. Lasting peace depends on rebuilding the social and economic fabric, restoring confidence, and creating spaces for practical cooperation between former adversaries. By fostering these dynamics, FSD helps lay the foundations for lasting stability and peace.

From joint demining to the reintegration of former combatants

FSD takes part in specific peace processes in coordination with national authorities, partner organisations, and local communities. Depending on the context, its projects may facilitate dialogue and cooperation through joint demining operations, support the reintegration of former combatants into civilian life, or assist in the rehabilitation of essential infrastructure. Each initiative is tailored to the particular needs of the post-conflict setting and contributes to lasting stability and social cohesion.
