Content
During this training, participants will be introduced to key terms from the wider field of planning, monitoring, evaluation, and learning in the context of conflict transformation and peacebuilding. They will explore the underlying concepts and learn how to design, plan, implement and monitor peacebuilding impact oriented projects and programs through the Reflecting on Peace Practice Framework. By the end of this 5-day training, the participants will have developed conflict transformation programming skills, and are able to plan peacebuilding projects according to the RPP Matrix, also with due consideration to the programming challenges and dilemmas.
Objectives
- Understand the concept of impact PME in peace work
- Design impact oriented projects through the Reflecting on Peace Practice framework using real case studies
- Identify dilemmas and challenges in peace programming and strategies to address them
- Developed a plan for follow up and application in their own work context.
Key Concepts
- Creating impact in Peacebuilding
- Strategic entry points (linked to the conflict analysis of the previous module)
- Reflecting on Peace Practice
- Impact oriented program design
Methodology
The training will be practical, participatory and experience-based; the insights, existing skills and knowledge of both the facilitator and the participants will form an integral part of the process. It will be grounded in the principles of adult learning. The tools and methodologies used in the training will be practiced and applied to conflict contexts and projects the participants suggest and are familiar with (or that are their own contexts). Participants will be encouraged to adapt and change the tools to make them their own.
After a successful participation, participants receive a certificate and become part of the academy’s alumni network.
