This training is designed for practitioners seeking to strengthen their knowledge and practical skills in peacebuilding programming in conflict and post-conflict contexts across Africa. It is particularly relevant for those seeking a deeper understanding of conflict and post-conflict dynamics in the Great Lakes, Horn of Africa, and East Africa regions.

The training is also suitable for practitioners who wish to strengthen their understanding and application of conflict analysis, conflict-sensitive programming, healing-centred approaches to breaking cycles of violence, and gender-responsive peacebuilding in conflict and post-conflict settings.

 By the end of the training, participants will have:

1. Enhanced understanding of conflict and post-conflict contexts in Africa, including key conflict dynamics, challenges, and peacebuilding opportunities across diverse settings.
2. Improved practical knowledge of conflict analysis tools and frameworks and the ability to apply them to better understand conflict dynamics and inform peacebuilding programming.
3. Increased understanding of peacebuilding programming options and approaches appropriate for conflict and post-conflict settings, with a focus on addressing conflict drivers and supporting sustainable peace.
4. Enhanced understanding of approaches to breaking cycles of violence, including the application of healing-centred peacebuilding approaches to support individual, community, and societal healing and recovery.
5. Strengthened understanding of conflict-sensitive programming, including how conflict sensitivity can be integrated into organizational processes and throughout the programme cycle.
6. Enhanced awareness of gender dimensions in conflict and post-conflict settings, including practical approaches and tools for gender analysis, gender mainstreaming, and gender-responsive peacebuilding programming.
