Contribution short abstract:

Local Faith Actors in Burundi often play a major role in peacebuilding work yet yet, their voices are less likely to be represented at international peacebuilding fora, where a preference is typically shown towards the participation of national and international faith actors.

Contribution long abstract:

There has been an initiative to explore ‘Intangible’ aspects of local faith actors’ contributions to building community resilience, peace and reconciliation in Africa, asia and Latin America. these intangibles aspects of fait play a key role in peacebuiling yet they are less known and the international scholarship has not done much to explore them. Presenting the Burundian case alongside other world case bring bring important contribution to the panel and some understanding on what faith actors have been doing behind the curtains.
