While development research and policy have been acknowledging this fact for the past two decades, applying it in practice is still a challenge — not least because those specialised in the social services fields still very often start from the hypothesis that their services automatically contribute to peace and justice. This briefing explores, from a practitioners’ point of view, some of the preconditions for health systems to contribute to peacebuilding. It argues that conflict transformation and peacebuilding is a long-term process of (re-)establishing trust in fellow citizens and state institutions, by redressing past violations and providing equal access to services, building accountable institutions and allowing for political participation of marginalised groups. These complex tasks are addressed by different fields of practice, namely transitional justice, development cooperation, and peacebuilding. Even though the three fields are closely intertwined and their communities sharemany values — such as human dignity, equality and justice — they often differ on priorities and work in parallel silos. By taking health system development in wartorn societies as an example, the briefing looks into why and how social services provision should be linked to transitional justice and peacebuilding.
