South Sudan, Mali, Burundi, and the DRC carry deep wounds from years of conflict, displacement, poverty, and gender-based violence — wounds that don’t disappear when the fighting stops. The psychosocial toll is real: fractured communities, eroded trust, and individuals left to cope with trauma largely on their own
Through our multi-year partnership with Impunity Watch, this week we launched a training manual and toolkit designed to strengthen the capacity of local actors to address trauma, support healing, and embed mental health and psychosocial support within transitional justice, peacebuilding, and reconciliation work in these four contexts.
