Abstract:
This research report addresses the roles and responsibilities of faith-based educational institutions (FBEIs) in processes of conflict transformation in fragile states. It builds on insights from academic literature and an examination of expertise and policy among the members of ICCO Alliance, a coalition of Dutch, Christian development organisations. This study outlines both the achievements and the challenges that characterise the efforts of FBEIs in (post‐)conflict settings. In addition, the report offers incentives for reflection and discussion, as well as openings for further research into the relationships between education, religion, and conflict transformation.
