Creative Approaches to Managing Conflict in Africa
Findings from USIP-Funded Projects

Edited by David R. Smock

The purpose of this report is to share some lessons of projects which have identified or implemented innovative approaches to managing Africa's conflicts, and examine their potential applicability to other conflicts there or elsewhere. All the projects described in this Peaceworks have been supported by grants from the U.S. Institute of Peace.

Each of the directors of these Institute-assisted projects was asked to distill project lessons regarding peacemaking in Africa with applicability beyond the specific cases dealt with in their projects. Their statements were then edited and adapted for inclusion in this Peaceworks.
