Capacities for Peace - Learning and Evaluation

Saferworld and Conciliation Resources are currently implementing an EU-funded project called Capacities for Peace (C4P), which aims to strengthen local actors’ capacity in early warning and early response. The C4P project, which runs from 01 September 2013 to 29 February 2016 and covers 32 contexts across the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America, provides an unique opportunity to extract and share lessons on: 1) early warning and response processes and their peacebuilding purpose, 2) the role and added value of CSOs in early warning and response, and 3) how best to build CSOs’ capacity to effectively undertake these roles. Such a learning process will benefit international actors’ policies and practice in the field of early warning, and contribute to enhancing the knowledge and standards of the peacebuilding sector.
