Building Paths to Peace: Bo Peace & Reconciliation Movement

---

This paper looks at the issues surrounding building peace in Sierra Leone. It particularly focuses on addressing some key success stories through documenting the work of peace monitors and the Bo Peace and Reconciliation Movement (BPRM).

It is highlighted that the war in Sierra Leone devastated more than lives and national infrastructure. It created a population traumatised by their experiences, displaced from their homes and families, lacking trust in one another and vulnerable to anti-social behaviour. Some of the work carried out by BPRM is highlighted including protecting children, bringing change to the chiefdom and collaboration with the state. It is pointed out that due to their growing national recognition and success, more dispute cases are reported to BPRM from other districts across the country requesting their intervention.
