Peacebuilding initiatives regularly only produce small scale, short-lived results. Our guest Dr. Sukanya Podder (researcher at King’s College London) says it’s time to think in terms of the Peacebuilding Legacy. That means: not-too-tightly planned interventions that fit local norms and behavior, and - with the help of youth leadership - take different interpretations of a conflict across generations into account. A prominent case in the book concerns a community radio initiative in Sierra Leone, so our other guest, Isata Mahoi, will share her experiences as network coordinator of the West Africa Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP) - and as a radio star in one of the peacebuilding initiatives, Atunda Ayenda.
