The Collaborative Action program incubates projects that enable communities in conflict to overcome societal divisions through professional partnerships that create an integrated workforce. Collaborative Action enhances social cohesion by fostering knowledge, positive relationships, and shared action between diverse groups. This process sustains reconciliation among these groups and reduces the prejudice, hate, and conflict that tear societies apart.

Collaborative Action empowers the local community to take independent ownership of sustainable projects that foster job creation, economic security, and greater cohe- sion. Coexist works with cooperatives and social enterprises to improve operations, supply chains, and distribution channels. Fair trade premiums fund improvements to the shared community infrastructure and ongoing social cohesion initiatives.
