Moving from Reaction to Transformation

Moving from Reaction to Transformation

This matrix maps the questions relevant to three orientations and time horizons for social change: reaction, reform, and transformation. These questions are organized according to three areas of focus for response activities: human capacity building, subsystem initiative, and systemic change. For organizations and communities engaging around a given issue area, these guiding questions can support in identifying the who, the what, and the how required to respond to violence and build just and peaceful futures.
