Transformation Futures
In this resource, CDA, Peace Direct, and Search for Common Ground share the various transformative outcomes that we have seen through supporting transition processes over the past eight years of collaborative learning and applied research. Evidence shows that there is no “one right way” but rather multiple pathways that teams, organizations, projects, and partnerships can take to ensure the outcome of a transition is culturally and contextually relevant and does not exacerbate power dynamics at the local level. The hope is that this resource will help expand teams’ imaginations as to what is possible through a transition process and to connect teams to stories, examples, and resources to help them navigate their own process.
This resource details 10 outcomes seen through transition processes supported by CDA, PD, and Search. Each pathway shares the overview, key components such as timing, funding, and sustainability, as well as examples from the sector.
