To increase community participation and strengthen the role of local authorities in building a peaceful future for the region, monthly meetings will be held between local authorities and community leaders. During these meetings, both sides will discuss various issues and collaborate to develop plans for their resolution. The objective of these plans and actions will be to find sustainable solutions.
By establishing “Together for a Better Sinjar” and providing intensive training, the Sinjar Consortium for Local Organizations and the Youth Bridge Development Organization aim to empower the local community and government leaders, fostering a collaborative environment that will contribute to the long-term prosperity and peace of the region.
