The “Local Solutions to Climate Resilience and Advancing Peace and Stability in Bor, Pibor and Malakal” project, which is being carried out by UN Women, aims to promote peace and stability through integrated and jointly implemented interventions between IOM, FAO, and UN Women, involving stakeholders on a variety of levels (including individual, household, community, local, city, subnational, organisational, and national).
The UN Women South Sudan Country Office (CO) suggests working with a group to create a training handbook for peacebuilding that is gender- and age-sensitive, trauma-informed, and climate-informed. Under the direction of the Deputy Country Representative, the Organisation will collaborate closely with the Women, Peace and Security Officer, the Programme Analyst, Monitoring & Evaluation Reporting Specialist, and the Women, Peace and Security Officer to create a training manual that is pertinent to the requirements of South Sudanese communities, can help build climatic resilience, and can help prevent conflict.
More specifically, outcomes one through three in the targeted areas are intended to strengthen three “resilience capacities”:
Communities must have three types of capacities: absorptive, adaptive, and transformative. Absorptive capacities allow communities to prepare for, respond to, and recover from shocks like climate shocks. Adaptive capacities allow communities to make small adjustments and modifications without drastically altering their way of life.
Objectives
- The training guides for peacebuilding have the following strategic goals:
- To find locally driven solutions that could deal with the aggravating effects of climatic shocks on current conflict dynamics and investigate ways to include them in the peace process.
- to act as a tool for educating and involving communities in conversations to address the underlying factors that lead to conflict dynamics and open the door for the implementation of resource management and peacebuilding strategies that are gender- and age-sensitive and climate-informed.
- By empowering women and youth to take on decision-making roles in peacebuilding, training on gender/age-sensitive, climate-informed peacebuilding would advance gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls in peacebuilding and climate security.
- to give communities the information and abilities they need to confront the complicated problems of establishing peace in a changing world and to recover from the trauma caused by war and violence.
- The manual will be used by the implementing partners to facilitate engagements, discussions, and training sessions on gender-sensitive peacebuilding.
Functions
- Develop a gender- and age-sensitive peacebuilding training manual during Phase I, which takes three months.
- Submit a first report that reflects the following significant consultation and provides a thorough contextual backdrop, study design, methodology, tools, and work plan (modalities to be agreed upon by UN Women).
- The Ministry of Peacebuilding will work with other line ministries, such as the Ministry of Gender, Child, and Social Welfare (MGCSW), to make sure the manual reflects important national priority areas, is gender sensitive and responsive, and is in line with existing training and educational materials.
- IOM, FAO, and UN Women will add to the body of information already available in the field of peacebuilding.
- Participants at the community level in Bor, Pibor, and Malakal
- Provide a chapter structure with annotations for the manual that addresses current concerns, shocks, and the delivery of remedies.
- Create the manual and distribute it to the project partners (UNW, IOM, and FAO) for evaluation and feedback.
- To evaluate the manual with key stakeholders and create a final manual that incorporates feedback from the validation workshop, conduct internal meetings and external validation workshops in phase two. (6 weeks)
- Lead the workshops for both internal and external validation.
- Compile the validation workshop feedback and include it in the final manual document.
- Prior to the manual’s official release, do a pilot test on a small group of volunteers.
- Facilitate the Training of Trainers (TOT) on the Peacebuilding Training Manual at the community level (6 weeks) during Phase III
- Representatives of the Ministry of Peacebuilding and relevant partners received a pilot training on the created Peacebuilding Training Manual in Bor, Malakal, and Pibor.
- Hold a discussion with the participants and stakeholders to solicit feedback on the manual.
- Adapt the Manual to the feedback sessions.
- Launch a training programme in Bor. Pekal and Malakal
