Interested in applying Making Peace Last?
The Making Peace Last (MPL) approach is a powerful tool for increasing the sustainability and impact of social change and organizational change efforts. The approach is especially well suited for people and organizations that are operating in complex environments (e.g. communities, large organizations, conflict-affected regions) or with complex and intractable social problems (e.g. chronic underdevelopment, insecurity, environmental damage). The approach uses systems thinking to create a user-friendly toolbox for doing assessment, planning, intervention, evaluation, and learning.
For more details on the approach, see MPL Program Description PowerPoint below
