HOPE for a better Future: Building Collaborative Resilience in Liberia

Hope for a better Future (HOPE) is a 5-year USAID-funded locally led peacebuilding and capacity strengthening program designed to boost the resilience of individuals and their communities to address prolonged social trauma in post-war Liberia. HOPE has three distinct priorities:

1. Psychosocial Health – individuals are trained in emotional, social, mindfulness and self-management skills to strengthen their trauma healing capacity and individual resilience.

2. Collaborative Resilience – participants work together on joint dream projects to create better futures for themselves and their communities.

3. Peacebuilding – residents and prime actors create an environment in which conflict can be resolved peacefully and opportunities and community initiatives can flourish.

To implement HOPE, TRENDS Global partners with the School of Conflict Management, Peacebuilding and Development at Kennesaw State University, the Kofi Annan Institute for Conflict Transformation (KAICT), the National Coalition for Justice, Peace and Caritas (NCJPC), and Sovereignty First.
