The training aimed to enhance the capacity and strategies of women in Darfur to address conflict challenges at local, national and regional levels during the Doha peace process and during subsequent peace processes. The training forms part of ACCORD’s larger commitment to support peace in Sudan. The seminar sought to evolve an Africa Wide Strategy for Women in Peace and Security for the next decade (2010 – 2020) that stakeholders across the field can use to strategically inform their activities and set their agendas.
