Imagine coexistence: A programme to ensure the sustainable repatriation and reintegration of people returning to divided communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Rwanda

Duration: January 2001– March 2002
Budget: US$1,262,500
Implementing Agencies: UNHCR

The programme supported the process of reintegration and co-existence in ethnically divided communities. By building the capacities of UNHCR and other humanitarian workers, the programme examined how initiatives in education, the arts, sports, and economic development can offer refugees, returnees, and other survivors of group conflict reasons to work together and create a base for relating constructively over time.
