Building Trust

Magnet recognizes that Conflict has a profound impact on societies, fracturing their very foundation and fostering deep-seated distrust that taints all connections, including those between people and their leaders. As a result, seemingly minor issues can escalate into widespread violence. To address this, Magnet works towards building trust and sustainable peace in societies by offering secure channels of communication. Through collaborative efforts, barriers to lasting peace are identified, and solutions to shared challenges are devised.

Unlike conventional approaches that prioritize tangible aspects of post-conflict reconstruction, such as infrastructure, government structures, disarming soldiers, election scheduling, and police stations, Magnet understands the importance of the intangible “software” elements. These include reconciling former adversaries, instilling trust in public institutions, and preserving traditional dispute resolution practices. By engaging with these critical aspects, Magnet ensures that institutions gain enduring legitimacy, and individuals and groups are empowered to remain dedicated to the daunting task of forging lasting peace.
