Women building relationships that support peace: the work of Pascaline Magendo, Hub Manager for Concordis in Paoua, Central African Republic.
For those working on the ground, peacebuilding can present numerous challenges. Preventing clashes, brokering conversations between authorities, and even just ensuring one’s own security can be difficult at times. Concordis peacebuilders work to overcome these challenges by building meaningful relationships that foster trust and empower local people, so we can walk alongside them and together transform obstacles into opportunities for creating lasting peace.
The work of Pascaline Magendo, one of Concordis’ Hub Managers in the Central African Republic, is a great example of this approach.
