1. Introduction

Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is an international non-governmental organization which promotes and supports durable solutions to the problems faced by vulnerable people affected by conflict and instability all over the world. Danish Demining Group (DDG) is the branch of DRC that focuses on human security programming. DDG strives to identify safety and security needs from the perspective of those living with conflict and to help them find non-violent solutions. These go beyond traditional mine action activities to include Violence Reduction (VR). VR programming specifically seeks to engage communities in developing durable solutions to local safety and security challenges.

2. Background

DRC operated in Tunisia from 2011 to 2013 to provide direct humanitarian assistance to refugees fleeing the Libyan crisis in Shousha camp near Ben Guerdane. Since that time, the organization has been able to generate visibility and credibility among local communities and develop of sound understanding of the local context. Most significantly, DDG has been present in southeast Tunisia since 2014, enhancing community security and resilience in the border-towns of Ben Guerdane and Dehiba and, in March 2018, extended its current iteration of programming to the Libyan border-towns of Zuwara, Nalut, and Wazin with a similar approach.

DDG programming has sought to address border management holistically, investing in analysing the full system of dynamics that cause tension within and across communities and fuel insecurity and illicit trade throughout the border region. As a result, DDG has succeeded in establishing Conflict Management Committees (CMCs) in each town, as well as opportunities for exchange and joint cross-border conflict response initiatives that are contributing to preventing violence and to the stabilization of the border.

Thanks to the funds of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, DDG envisions a process whereby 5 pre-established Conflict Management Committees (CMCs) in the border-towns of Ben Guerdane, Dehiba (in Tunisia) and Zuwara, Nalut and Wazin (in Libya) can reinforce their conflict management and advocacy skills, plus create spaces of dialogue for the communities to address conflict in their region.
