One of the most troubling realities of peacebuilding in conflict and post-conflict settings is the limited success of conventional approaches. Most peace accords collapse within seven years, and roughly half of ended conflicts reignite within a decade. While the drivers of violence are complex, the persistent absence of meaningful local engagement remains a critical weakness — a frustration often summed up in conflict zones as, “No one ever asks us anything.” In response, Voices from the Void is conducting field research across rural Colombia to better understand how the 2016 peace accords are being implemented. This work brings together academics, former combatants, community leaders, and other local stakeholders through interviews and surveys conducted in 2023 and 2024. The findings frequently challenge core assumptions of the Final Agreement and highlight gaps between policy and lived experience. We are sharing this working document to ensure that the perspectives of marginalized communities inform future peace and development efforts. This report emphasizes the central role of education in peacebuilding, while underscoring how much work remains. We invite readers to review the document below and share feedback as the research continues.
