Participatory Peace Processes 

We believe in a participatory approach to addressing peace and security challenges. By engaging with communities and victims, we find collective solutions to pertinent security issues. Our methodology focuses on long-term engagements, ensuring underlying and structural issues are effectively addressed. We advocate for peace beyond projects, encouraging holistic participation across all levels. By weaving together diverse perspectives, we create a rich tapestry of ideas that lead to innovative solutions for the region’s security challenges. Our participatory peace processes empower all voices, ensuring that no one is left unheard or marginalized in the pursuit of a harmonious Horn of Africa.

Transforming conflict into collaboration lies at the heart of our peacebuilding endeavors. We don’t simply offer quick fixes; instead, we forge enduring relationships with communities to heal the wounds of the past and build a brighter future together. By understanding the root causes of discord, we can address underlying and structural issues methodically, laying a solid foundation for sustainable peace. Our commitment to long-term engagement reflects our determination to nurture unity and solidarity, transcending short-term project-based efforts.

At Magnet, we go beyond the conventional boundaries of peacebuilding projects. We envision a Horn of Africa where peace is not just a distant goal but an inherent part of every facet of life. Our advocacy extends to every level of society, promoting a culture of peace that permeates institutions, governance, and grassroots initiatives alike. By encouraging holistic participation, we ensure that peace becomes the

collective responsibility of all, from local communities to regional entities. Together, we champion a transformative journey towards harmony that transcends borders and envisions a united Horn of Africa.

Communities are not passive bystanders in the pursuit of peace; they are the architects of their destiny. At Magnet, we empower communities to take charge of their own peacebuilding processes. Through capacity-building programs, we equip individuals with the tools they need to lead positive change, fostering a sense of ownership and agency. By acknowledging the resilience and wisdom of the people, we unleash a powerful force for peace that ripples through the region, leaving a legacy of hope for generations to come.
