Following the compensation phase, the institution chose to return to the communities to listen to them and gather their proposals for community and collective reparations. This approach aligns with the spirit of Recommendation No. 54 of the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (CVJR). It advocates for prioritizing community and collective reparations in situations of inter-ethnic conflict and using them as instruments to help restore cohesion between the groups concerned.   <\/p>\n<p>Indeed, over the course of three days, the discussions successively brought together various stakeholders from the prefecture: administrative and local authorities, traditional and religious leaders, community actors, women&#8217;s organizations, youth associations, Village Development Committees (CVD), Neighborhood Development Committees (CDQ), Local Peace Committees (CLP), and civil society representatives.<\/p>\n<p>The consultations highlighted the concerns of the communities, but also their expectations for a future of flourishing and lasting social peace. During the discussions, consistent emphasis was placed on the need to select an initiative that could benefit the various segments of the population and contribute, beyond its primary purpose, to fostering reconciliation between communities. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumb_566x377 wp-image-11194\" src=\"https:\/\/hcrrun-tg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC_0401.jpg-22-566x377.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"566\" height=\"377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hcrrun-tg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC_0401.jpg-22-566x377.jpg 566w, https:\/\/hcrrun-tg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC_0401.jpg-22-390x260.jpg 390w, https:\/\/hcrrun-tg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC_0401.jpg-22-103x68.jpg 103w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 566px) 100vw, 566px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>A project selected by the communities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Following the consultations, the population of the Dankpen prefecture chose to build a Vocational and Technical Training Center (CFPT), which will be paired with a leisure area.<\/p>\n<p>The choice of this project reflects a concrete expectation expressed by the various communities during the discussions.
