Many parts of the world are experiencing increased conflicts. With the change in the nature and pattern of conflicts, it has become imperative to develop strategies to anticipate, prevent and respond to conflicts. The increase in opportunities for peace-making by continental and regional organizations such as the African Union (AU), Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and by Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) including Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Community Based Organizations (CBOs) has resulted in an exponential growth in mediation interventions and associated conflict resolution activities at multiple levels. To match the need to intervene in conflicts is the need to build the knowledge base of individuals to fill the capacity gaps of mediators and mediation support teams. The Conflict Analysis and Mediation Course was therefore designed to increase the understanding of the different tools, frameworks and aspects of conflict analysis and mediation among stakeholders for the purposes of conflict prevention, management and resolution.

The changing nature of armed conflicts has resulted in an increased civilian-combatant interface, to the extent that contemporary conflicts have been referred to as 'wars among the people'. Civilian populations bear the greatest brunt of today’s complex and intractable conflicts. This changing nature of conflicts has necessitated both doctrinal and operational shifts in peace support operations.
Protection of Civilians has increasingly become an integral component of contemporary peace operations. Emerging international support to the “responsibility to protect” norm notwithstanding, peacekeepers and other actors involved in peace support operations are often not adequately prepared or trained to deal with the daunting task of civilian protection agenda.The aim of this course is therefore to enhance the capacity of participants for the effective implementation of POC mandates in Peace Operations, in order to mitigate the effects of conflicts on civilians.
OVERALL OBJECTIVE
This course is for people who want to become more effective in supporting gender mainstreaming as a gender adviser and therefore not designed for people who need to know more about the concept of gender. Accordingly, the overall course aims to provide participants with knowledge, practical tools and skills that will enhance their ability to support gender mainstreaming in an organization.
This is a fully-funded course with support from the Folke Bernadotte Academy (FBA), Sweden, and KAIPTC’s Women, Peace and Security Institute (WPSI). WPSI is able to provide support to the course through the earmarked funding from the Government of Sweden and the core funding from the Government of Norway.
