About the Teaching Paper
This Teaching Paper introduces a structured template for developing comprehensive peacebuilding action plans. It integrates conflict analysis, stakeholder engagement, strategy development, and monitoring into a coherent framework designed for non-profits, faith-based groups, and community organizations. By balancing short-term conflict mitigation with long-term transformation, the template helps practitioners design initiatives that are inclusive, accountable, and sustainable. A case study from Uganda illustrates its application in addressing land disputes and fostering collaboration between returnees and host communities, showing how structured planning enhances trust and resilience.
