Idasa played a significant historical role in establishing mechanisms for dialogue in South Africa. In the late 1980s, it was instrumental in facilitating a number of ground-breaking meetings between leaders within South Africa’s borders and those in exile. Over the next several years, one of Idasa’s key areas of work was to bring role-players from different segments of a divided South African society together to meet and deliberate on the future of the country. It worked extensively with other civil society organisations to assist in monitoring political violence and facilitating the resolution of conflicts through multi-stakeholder processes. Idasa also provided peace education amongst youth organisations and other civil society groups as part of its broader democracy education initiatives. Idasa’s main work in this field is currently achieved through its work in
Nigeria and
Zimbabwe.
