Overview


OVERVIEW Many of the root causes of poverty can be found in conflict over resources, philosophies and goals. Mercy Corps believes that engaging potential adversaries in productive dialogue can lead to mutually-beneficial solutions and positive, peaceful change for communities and entire regions. Conflict resolution today can help avoid tomorrow's wars and other crises.	"Conflict is often a catalyst to take a bad situation and make it better," says Nargiza, 18. She's applied this philosophy to defuse complaints between students at her school in Uzbekistan.
