Stable democracies
encourage differences of opinion and the free expression of
ideas, and thus benefit from the creative potential of disputes.
The challenge in democratic societies is to establish norms
and institutions to process and manage these disputes peacefully.
Local communities thus require transparent mechanisms and
services that manage conflicts, as well as foster dialogue
and build consensus among different sectors and groups.
Through its consensus building and dispute resolution services,
Partners helps communities worldwide manage conflict and
strengthen relationships among diverse sectors and groups.
