Learning how to resolve conflicts

Since 2013, we have helped participants from the global South learn how to resolve conflicts on a personal, group, organisational and societal level through their participation in the Danida Fellowship Centre conflict management learning programme. They are introduced to mediation, conflict analysis, conflict coaching, establishing a culture of conflict resolution, linkages between environmental challenges and conflict, inclusive decision-making processes and more. Quotes from participants:

“The course was extremely engaging and practical in nature.”

“I am extremely grateful for this life changing opportunity. I am using the lessons learned in my private life, at work and in institutional strengthening.”

Politics and conflict in Kenya

Political parties in Kenya play a pivotal role in deescalating pre- and post election violence.

Therefore, in conjunction with The Centre for Multiparty Democracy Kenya politicians were trained in building a culture of conflict resolution in and between parties before the 2022 election.

There were a special focus on building a codex of conflict resolution and inclusive decision-making processes.
