This peer exchange is organized by OCHA and InterAction as co-chairs of the Global Protection Cluster Task Team on the Centrality of Protection. The purpose of this peer exchange is to reflect on progress made and challenges encountered in implementing the provisions of the IASC Protection Policy related to identifying HCT protection priorities and developing a system-wide protection strategy. A dedicated protection strategy, initiated and promoted by the HC through the HCT and informed by the Humanitarian Response Plan, can be a key guiding document for the humanitarian community to address the most urgent protection concerns and work toward collective protection outcomes. We can draw lessons from over a dozen HCT Protection Strategies that have been adopted, and those currently under development.

By gathering several experts actively involved in the creation and implementation of various strategies, we aim to identify best practices and lessons learned, as well as areas for improvement, and brainstorm around recommendations in this regard.

Panelists at the peer exchange will include

• Mr. Ramesh Rajasingham, Deputy Regional Humanitarian Coordinator, Syria Crisis

• Ms. Anna Rich, Protection Cluster Coordinator Ukraine

• Mr. Max Bonnel, Humanitarian Affairs Officer & Inter-Cluster Coordinator, OCHA Ethiopia

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Owing to different life experiences, women and men differ in how they experience, respond to, and recover from disasters. When disaster strikes, men and women have different abilities and ways of responding, and, in the end, the impacts are different. Gender-based social, economic, religious and cultural construct marginalize women across all communities and groups, irrespective of class, caste, economic standing, status, ethnicity or age. Therefore, a disaster response must meet the disaster-related needs of women, men, and all marginalized groups, and those stakeholders should participate in disaster preparedness, mitigation, recovery and reconstruction.

Based on this premise, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 - 2030, states that, in designing and implementing policies and plans on disaster reduction, the participation of relevant stakeholders such as women and the marginalized groups should be considered. It also emphasizes the need for capacity development measures for women to participate effectively in each and every steps of disaster preparedness, emergency response, recovery and reconstruction. The course seeks to fill the gaps in practical guidance in gender mainstreaming in disaster risk management at the local and community level.

This course will strengthen the participants’ knowledge and skills in integrating gender in the concepts and practices of community-based disaster risk management (CBDRM) for the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.

General Course Objectives
The main course objective is to build the capacity of participants to integrate gender perspective in disaster risk management so as to ensure that both women and men have the necessary capacities in addressing their respective vulnerabilities to enable them to protect themselves, their families and their immediate communities. The specific objectives are to:

1. Review the concepts of disasters and Community-Based Disaster Risk Management.
2. Introduce participants to the gender perspective in Community-based disaster risk management.
3. Expose the participants on the process of gender sensitive disaster risk assessment.
4. Introduce the participants to Gender Sensitive Disaster Risk Management for effective disaster risk reduction, response and recovery
5. To identify the gaps and opportunities for mainstreaming gender sensitivity into disaster risk reduction with specific focus on Sendai Framework implementation.

International election observation plays an important role in international relations since almost thirty years. The Declaration of Principles for International Election Observation adopted by the UN in 2005 is one of the first attempts of the international Community to set up standard rules recognized at international level. The European Union is strongly committed to contribute to all democratic processes around the world through various activities which include the electoral observation. The adoption of EU guidelines on preconditions for EU observation missions and a code of conduct for EU electoral observers represented an important step towards enhanced co-ordination and serve as a basis for all electoral observers.

EIUC has developed a course aiming at providing training to civilian staff in election observation missions at the first steps of their career (i.e. short term observers). Selected applicants will be allowed to become aware of the role, the tasks and the status of international observers, and will be given a theoretical and practical training on election observation and election observation missions functioning.

The training is organised with the patronage of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Italy, Czech Republic and Spain. The Foreign Ministry is responsible for the State’s functions, tasks and duties in matters concerning Italy’s political, economic, social and cultural relations with other countries. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic is a Czech government agency which is responsible for international relations of the Czech Republic. The Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation is the department of Government of Spain responsible for Spain's foreign relations.

Applicants fulfilling the conditions for participation will be accepted on the basis of a "first subscribed, first in" policy. EIUC reserves the right to select participants based on their academic and professional profile. Should the required minimum number of participants for one session not be met, the training programme will be postponed to the following session. Participants will have the option either to be reimbursed or participate in a successive edition.

Introduction

The ‘*Training of trainers in peacebuilding and conflict transformation Course’* is targeting 15 peacebuilding practitioners with an interest in deepening their knowledge and skills in peacebuilding and conflict transformation and in designing, facilitating and evaluating trainings. The five day training is divided into two parts: part one, will focus on Understanding Conflict, Conflict Analysis, Conflict Management and Peacebuilding strategies; the second part will focus on skills and knowledge required to be an effective trainer in designing, facilitating and evaluating a training programme. The first part will take 1.5 days and the last 3.5 days.

At the end of the five days, participants are expected to have gained the most up-to-date knowledge and skills in peacebuilding relevant to African contexts. In addition, they would practice fundamental skills in conducting training in various contexts.

Core thematic areas:

Part One:

1. Introduction: Understanding Conflict, Conflict analysis

2. Theories of conflict and peace

3. Strategies of Peacebuilding Interventions

Part Two:

1. Fundamentals in Adult learning

2. Exploring the role of a facilitator/training in dynamic contexts

3. Designing a training curriculum

4. Facilitation skills and techniques

5. Evaluating a training programme

Objectives of the training

By the end of the training, participants would have had the space and opportunity to:

1. Deepen their understanding and knowledge of conflict, peace, conflict analysis, theories of peace and conflict;

2. Enhance their skills and capacities in peacebuilding strategies relevant to their various contexts;

3. Enhance their skills in peacebuilding training design, delivery and evaluation;

Training/Learning Methodology and Approach This intensive training will utilize Adult Learning methodology, drawing from Paulo Freire and others. Participants will be required to fully contribute from their knowledge and reflections in peace, development, human rights, gender rights and humanitarian work, amongst other fields. The learning will, therefore, be experiential and will engage participants in individual tasks, group tasks, case studies, mini-lectures and role-plays and simulations, amongst others. The practical elements are designed to help the participants synthesize the learning and make it relevant to their contexts. Participants will also have the opportunity to design and do ‘actual training’ facilitation
