This short blog post from a site called “Find What Works” provides a good overview of the ways in which businesses can avoid exacerbating conflict and actively promote peace. For those of us who work with private sector actors in conflict-affected environments, this post gives inspiration for how we can work with businesses not only to reduce poverty but to reduce conflict, as well.

Since Dave didn’t do it himself–just want to note that the blog post is from Mercy Corps’ own Dave Algoso, who has worked with us in Kenya and Kosovo, and hopefully Liberia.
