Tools and Strategies for Sustaining Peace course is a module of the REACT program, a five-week training course focused on peacebuilding and conflict prevention.
In a world of proliferating conflicts, sustaining peace has become a complex taskwhich demands a comprehensive approach including the political process, safety and security, rule of law and human rights, social services, core government functions and economic revitalization.
This five-day course will focus on exploring activities related to the political and safety and security processes (including elections, inclusive dialogue, reconciliation, conflict management capacity at national and subnational levels, mine action, disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration and security sector reform). It will also explore the roles played by different international and regional organisations such as NATO, OSCE, and AU.
Acknowledging that conflicts are not a linear process, the participants will learn the role of humanitarian, development and peacebuilding actors in conducting activities with a triple nexus approach before, during and after conflict. Participants will also become familiarised with UN policies for sustaining peace (e.g. Our Common Agenda; Action for Peacekeeping; etc.).
