Formation des Bâtisseurs de Paix en Afrique 2024

Le cycle de formation « Formation des Bâtisseurs de paix en Afrique » est un projet de renforcement de capacités des acteurs de paix dans un nombre de pays en Afrique francophone en vue de la promotion de la paix, la gestion non-violente de conflits et un développement sensible aux conflits.

Dans beaucoup de pays d’Afrique, il existe des programmes de promotion de la paix et de sensibilité aux conflits. Ce travail pour la paix nécessite des stratégies adaptées à un contexte précis et une gestion efficace orientée vers un changement personnel, relationnel, structurel ainsi que culturel.

Pour les collaborateurs francophones des projets de paix (nationaux et internationaux), les occasions de se former dans le domaine de « paix, réconciliation et gestion civile de conflits » sont rares. C’est pourquoi nous avons commencé dès 2011 à offrir des modules de formation des bâtisseurs de paix en Afrique. Ces formations ont eu lieu en août 2011, mars 2014 et août 2021 à Bujumbura, en novembre 2017 à Kigali, en janvier 2013, janvier 2016 et août 2019 à Ouagadougou/Burkina Faso et en février 2022 et septembre 2022 à Yaoundé. Ces formations sont ouvertes à des participants travaillant dans des projets de paix de tous les pays francophones en Afrique ou à d’autres participants intéressés.

Le programme est composé de plusieurs modules. L'inscription se fait par module.
