Tools and Strategies for Sustaining Peace

This intensive five-day course (40 hours) provides specialized training in tools and strategies for peacekeeping, aimed at individuals interested in governance, and peacebuilding in complex contexts.
The course focuses on the analysis of the political, institutional, and socioeconomic dimensions of peace operations, addressing the political process, strengthening the rule of law, delivery of essential public services, support for core state functions, the role of international observers, economic revitalization, and livelihoods recovery.
In a global context marked by increasingly complex and protracted conflicts, peacekeeping requires a comprehensive approach that goes beyond ceasefires and incorporates coordinated responses before, during, and after conflict.
Throughout the course, participants will explore key activities related to political and institutional security processes, such as elections, inclusive dialogue, reconciliation, conflict management at national and subnational levels, mine action, Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR), and Security Sector Reform (SSR).
The course also examines the role of international and regional organizations such as the United Nations, NATO, OSCE, and the African Union, as well as the main UN peacekeeping policies and strategic frameworks, including Our Common Agenda and Action for Peacekeeping (A4P).
