Abstract
The CWP was established in response to the structural nature of unemployment, as an employment safety net beneficial to community development. Management of CWP sites includes a wide range of tasks such as ensuring that communities participate in identification of useful work, that recruitment is done fairly, and that the site has the proper equipment and technical assistance to do quality work. The Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR) is a multi-disciplinary non-governmental organisation (NGO) involved in research, community interventions, and training. Its goal is to build reconciliation, democracy and a human rights culture.
