Peacebuilding, Conflict Transformation and Post-War Rebuilding,
Reconciliation and Resolution (PCTR) is one of TRANSCENDs most

staff, international and national aid and development workers, and
those working in post-war rebuilding, rehabilitation and

includes special modules on (i) peacebuilding and conflict
transformation before war and violence to transform conflicts
before they become violent and to prevent the outbreak of war, (ii)
mobilising, empowering and strengthening resources and local and
international capacities for peace and conflict transformation for
ending violence during wars, and (iii) developing strategic
frameworks and integrated approaches for peacebuilding and conflict
transformation at the local, national and regional levels for local
and national NGOs, international actors, and UN agencies.

Participants will receive the UN/TRANSCEND manual on Conflict
Transformation by Peaceful Means, together with books, materials
and a CD with the leading resources and workbooks/training manuals
on peacebuilding, conflict transformation and post-war recovery
collected from around the world.

development and implementation of war to peace transition
programmes, DDR, conflict transformation, local dialogue forums,
