Welcome to the 36th edition of the SOLLIMS
Lessons Learned Sampler– Inclusive Peacebuilding:
Working with Communities!
This lessons learned compendium contains just a
sample – thus the title ‘Sampler’ – of the observations,
insights, and lessons related to Peacebuilding
available in the SOLLIMS data repository. These
lessons are worth sharing with military commanders
and their staffs, as well as with civilian practitioners
having a peacekeeping or stability operations related
mission or function, such as those currently deployed
on stability operations, those planning to deploy, the
institutional Army, the Joint community, policy-
makers, and other international civilian and military
leaders at the national and theater level.
If you have not registered in SOLLIMS, the links in
the report will take you to the registration page. Take
a brief moment to register for an account in order to
take advantage of the many features of SOLLIMS and
to access the stability operations related products
referenced in the report, which can be accessed once
logged in to SOLLIMS.
We encourage you to take the time to provide us with
your perspective on any given lesson in this report or
on the overall value of the Sampler as a reference for
you and your unit/organization. By using the
‘Perspectives’ text entry box that is found at the end
of each lesson in the SOLLIMS database – seen when
you open the lesson in SOLLIMS – you can enter your
own personal comments on the lesson. We welcome
your input, and we encourage you to become a regular
contributor.
