As part of the community mobilization process, 243 male and 297 female Peace Volunteers were provided with capacity building opportunities on conflict analysis, conflict sensitivity, dialogue and conflict mitigation skills for promoting trust and harmony, and diffusing potential conflicts at the community level.
In the first year, the Peace Volunteers, most of whom were conflict affected themselves, were motivated through counselling and trainings to carry outdialogue sessions and plan and conductreconciliationactivities.
The volunteers conducted conflict analysis as follow up to the trainings they took part in. This helped them in identifying conflicting parties, their interests and needs, the root causes of conflict and its effects. Based on the results, the volunteers planned activities enabling community members to realize their role in resolving problems and encouraging unity and harmony at the community level. They also cted as bridge between Local Peace Committees and community members in facilitating the process of government relief and support programme to the targeted communities. SAMBAD strongly asserts that it is crucial to understand the context in which it implements peacebuilding programs. SAMBAD conducted both formal and informal context analysis at the project inception to understand the changing situation, to identify priorities and strategic points of intervention, and match capacity, skills and resources to the situation. It also provided orientation to Peace Committee members and Peace Facilitators on conflict analysis tools and methodologies.
