Welcome to the Official IRDP website <96> Institute of Research and Dialogue for Peace IRDP was initiated in 2001 as a peace building Institute to contribute to peacebuilding efforts in the aftermath of the Tutsi Genocide of 1994. IRDP<92>s overarching vision is to contribute to lasting peace in Rwanda and in the region. At IRDP we believe lasting peace is one which provides security, peace and complete fulfilment to the individual, the family and the community in general. We further believe that peacebuilding is a process that requires continuous adjustment to changing circumstances. To fulfil this vision, IRDP candidly assess its capacity to undertake this task as well as the ever changing environment in which its works in. IRDP is an independent and neutral space where critical and sensitive issues challenging peace are debated by all categories of Rwandans in order to influence positive change of behavior at the community and national levels and inform policies and practice on issues of national interest.
