N-Peace Network Launches Training of the Trainers (ToT) Programme

From the 3-10 February 2012, twenty-two women peace advocates from the N-Peace Network countries – Nepal, Timor-Leste, Sri Lanka and Indonesia – will participant in the first N-Peace Network Training of Trainers (ToT) Programme coordinated by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Asia Pacific Regional Centre (APRC), in partnership with the Institute for Inclusive Security and supported by the Australian Government’s Agency for International Development (AusAID).

The ToT is being carried out with the aim of increasing women’s knowledge, skills, and capacities to advocate for peace and security. To view the profiles of the first N-peace Network Trainers who will take part in the ToT click here.  

The eight day workshop will provide a space to discuss and unpack gender and peace building issues and the Women, Peace & Security (WPS) agenda, while also building upon participants’ practical skills in the areas of training, advocacy and communications.

Each participant in the ToT will be taught the Inclusive Security curriculum and training methodology, and will be encouraged to design their own training courses to be carried out at national and sub-national levels.
