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.
