Liberia has experienced prolonged social trauma for more than a generation. HOPE introduces mindfulness, empathy, emotional control and moral and collaborative reasoning as skills to strengthen the capacity of individuals suffering from prolonged social trauma to collaboratively find local solutions to local problems and conflict.
Funded by the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), TRENDS conducted a 10-month adaptive peacebuilding project in Afghanistan to resolve community-level conflicts that have been largely ignored. The need is not to build new local practices but to protect existing ones and to create space for hybrid practices where parties can safely share grievances and collaboratively develop locally tailored roadmaps for reconciliation.
Driven by needs assessment, the TRENDS methodologies are built around ethical research practices.
Case Studies are the bedrock of TRENDS Solution Labs, and our voice in the Academic Community.
Taking a boots-on-the-ground approach, TRENDS gets into the field and works with local leadership.
TRENDS offers program evaluation to inspire improvements and help with accountability.
