This will be a combination of the descriptive and explanatory case study approaches. The case studies will explain and describe how the network approach can be utilized to build social capital to strengthen existing local peacebuilding initiatives and infrastructure for a targeted response to conflict drivers and risk factors, using stories of successful community-volunteered interventions as evidence to support the case.
