Project Description:

One sentence identifying issue/problem tackled and peacebuilding or peace consolidation process addressed.

Given the historic inter-and intra-clan disputes over resources and the political power struggles between the Puntland and Galmudug administrations over authority in Galkayo that contribute to displacement, insecurity, conflict and social tensions, the project will mitigate social tensions through dialogue and conflict resolution.
