Training
The Zamani Foundation organized a course training on the Comprehensive Protection of Civilian held at the Martin Luther Agwai International Leadership and Peace Keeping Center Jaji. The training was aimed at enhancing the knowledge and understanding of participants on the United Nations integrated approach to conflict and crises.
The course training started on the 6th of March and ended on the 17th of March 2023. The event was attended by 17 participants from different organizations such as the military, DSS, fire service, police, civil defense, defense academy, judiciary, and NGO. The course activities were marked for each day, including lectures, class exercises, and group presentations.
More than 20 lectures were delivered to the participants. The lectures covered various topics such as the causes and nature of conflicts in Africa, the basic principles of peace, human rights, mandated tasks, mission-specific legal framework, and peace-building activities, among others. The lectures were delivered by experienced professionals who have served in various capacities in the UN, military, and other organizations.
The course training also included exercises that were given to the participants. The class was divided into three syndicates, and each syndicate had the task of solving a conflict in the country of Carana. This exercise was aimed at enhancing their ability to apply the knowledge gained during the lectures.
On the second day, the participants engaged in an ice breaker where they were asked to introduce their seat mate. This was followed by lectures on working as one in the mission, working with mission partners, human rights, mandated task, mission-specific legal framework, and peace-building activities. The lectures were delivered by experienced professionals who shared practical examples and scenarios that the participants could relate to.
On the third day, news highlights and lecture recaps were done by the participants. This was followed by a lecture on women peace and security, which focused on the different impacts of conflicts on women and girls, men and boys, and how women can be key partners in peacekeeping and peace-building activities.
