Programs - Corporative Peace Project

The overall purpose of this project is to build foundational capacity, structures and resources to empower civil society in Moldova-Transdniestria to actively engage in peace building and conflict transformation work - to address concrete social issues affecting the people of the region. The project has been developed in the context of a long term international civil society cooperation programme for peace building and conflict transformation in Moldova-Transdniestria.

This project proposal is presented by five partner organizations – CReDO, World Window and JCDC based in Moldova-Transdniestria and the Romanian Peace Institute (PATRIR) and TRANSCEND International acting as international expert organizations in peace building and conflict transformation, supporting the local partners based on their invitation.
