Training as Peace-Building Intervention:The Theory and Practice

Africa like the rest of the globe is struggling to be at peace with itself, thereby contributing to global restlessness. Conflicts of different sizes are causing mayhem to human kind, with victims mainly women, girls, children and the elderly. This book is suggesting the re-engineering of a new cookbook for peace building in Africa. Some of the suggested ways include: that the concept of peace in itself should not be commodified and remain a privilege for just chosen few, but should be free for all beginning from the very private life of each person.That the agenda for peace should get rid of spearism in men, by actively engaging women not as victims, but as active agents equipped with appropriate knowledge, skills and attitudes. That peace building, should not be based on elitist language, but on people's languages.That the religious and political diversity and plurality existing in Africa should not be a battleground for animosity, but instead, viewed as God's given way of spicing the arena for human survival. In mind, this exciting book, Training as Intervention in Peace-Building: The African Theory and Practice belongs to all peace-lovers, scholars, civic and public leaders.
