Creative Demobilization and Community Enterprise Development can be done primarily with business sector in partnership

Reconciliation/Transitional Justice can be facilitated effectively when “wounded parties” will be able to participate in wealth creation programs in the communities…

Business/Social Enterprise is the potent tool to convert the negative energy of violent conflict to positive energy for wealth creation in social enterprise development

Business/Social Enterprise if coupled with Good Governance will jump start the real community development thus discouraging resurgence of violent conflict.

Three bottomlines are the best foundations for lasting peace (doing good, doing well, doing right)

If executed well, armed groups will choose to demobilize, opportunity re-organize themselves as community of producers than remain as community of combatants

Expose Agribusiness and Business Management students in conflict areas…

Adopt a conflict affected area for model building on agribusiness and business management..
