A Recap of the Conflict Transformation Training-of-Trainers May 21-25, 2012
When was the last time that you let someone lead you around a room with your eyes closed? It may have been a while, but if you’re a peace practitioner, you’ve likely participated in a similar exercise meant to encourage trust-building and show the importance of good communication and leadership.
This is one of the exercises that the 24 participants gathered for the Conflict Transformation Training of Trainers (ToT) enjoyed most.
Community ownership is a key feature of Tomorrow is a New Day’s project design.
Thus, from the very beginning, structures are being created to ensure the sustainability of the project. In each of the seven communities, a Local Project Committee, or LPC, will be established.
A baseline study was conducted in all seven communities.
The goal of the baseline was to collect data that would provide insight into the conflict dynamics of each community.
The baseline was conducted using an integrated -methods approach including 1523 baseline surveys, 23 focus group discussions (FGDs), and 19 key information interviews (KIIs).
There are many issues contributing to the instability in the Niger Delta. The common thread between them is oil. The people of the region have voiced many objections over the years but the primary complaint is that the oil pumped from their lands enriches the nation at a high cost for residents.
