Peacebuilding

From the day of its foundation to the present day, the Fund "Sukhumi" has been continuously involved in confidence-building between conflict divided societies, peacebuilding and positive transformation of the conflict. Long lasting cooperation with partner organizations operating in Abkhazia and the study of the peacebuilding experience of various countries have laid the foundation for numerous partnership projects aimed at increasing the role of women and raising trust in the process of peacebuilding. Within the framework of joint projects, numerous researches were conducted, numerous documents, analytical works, and methodological guidelines on peace and security issues were published and widely distributed.

Through the trainings, information meetings and discussions, the Fund "Sukhumi" actively works with population (women - IDPs, youth) in the direction of rethinking the past, destroying the enemy image created by the conflict, reducing tension and spreading a culture of peace.

Fund "Sukhumi" developed and launched community-based Responsive Early Warning System. The organization constantly monitors the situation of IDP and conflict affected women and girls, as well as the level of their human security. It develops strategies for a timely warning against possible escalation of violence and instability, as well as actively participates in the problem solution process at the local, national and international level.

Fund “Sukhumi” has been actively participating in elaboration of National Action Plan (NAP) for implementation of UNSC Resolution 1325 and other UN Security Council resolutions on Women, Peace and Security. The organization was involved in integration and localization of the National Action Plan on UNSC Resolution 1325 at the local government level and enhancing the participation of internally displaced (IDP) and conflict-affected women and girls in dialogue with the local government officials.
