The “Business Peace Project,” implemented by Efforts for Rural Advancement (ERA) in Sunamganj Sadar Upazila under Sunamganj district, is a community-driven initiative aimed at fostering social cohesion and economic resilience through inclusive business practices. Recognizing that economic stability and peaceful societies are interlinked, the project engages local entrepreneurs, small business owners, and community leaders to promote dialogue, reduce conflict, and build trust across diverse groups. Key interventions include capacity-building workshops on conflict-sensitive business development, the formation of community business forums, and the facilitation of partnerships between local enterprises and civil society organizations. By empowering local businesses to act as agents of peace, the project contributes to the broader goal of sustainable development and harmony in the region.
