Can Faith-Based NGOs Advance Interfaith Reconciliation?
The Case of Bosnia and Herzegovina
by Branka Peuraca
Description
The Religion and Peacemaking Initiative of the U.S.
Institute of Peace concluded that it would be valuable
to explore the extent to which faith-based nongovernmental
organizations (NGOs) can advance reconciliation
in situations of ethnoreligious conflict. Bosnia and
Herzegovina provides a ready-made laboratory for this
research, given the nature of the conflict and the substantial
involvement of faith-based NGOs there.
The initiative contracted with Branka Peuraca, then a
graduate student at Tufts University’s Fletcher School of
Law and Diplomacy, and currently an independent consultant,
to undertake this research, which involved
interviews (conducted in August 2001 and from June
to October 2002) with local and international staff
members of numerous faith-based groups in six cities
and towns in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Sarajevo, Banja
Luka, Gornji Vakuf, Konjic, Tuzla, and Prijedor. The
research also drew on materials of the Imagine Coexistence
project, including ninety-six interviews with
members of organizations active in reconstruction and
reconciliation, conducted by the Fletcher School of Law
and Diplomacy and the Office of the United Nations
High Commissioner for Refugees. This report was written
by Peuraca and presents her findings. The report
has benefited from substantial editorial assistance provided
by Anne-Marie Smith.
