Actions
G.3.1 Improve mediator quality and success
Reinforce capabilities of PPBA³ as the primary agency for peace
building and mediation activities by training its unskilled staff via
institutions such as National Peace Academy
Create a rotational mediation training program for Operation
Rainbow, community leaders and volunteers through collaborations
with PPBA³ i.e., skilled members of PPBA³ rotate across LGAs¹
providing training, and thus improving mediation coverage
Fund all training programs by partnering with donors (e.g., UN² Peace
and Development Fund, GIZ's Civil Peace Service) e.g.,
During its civil war, Liberia partnered with UN² to train ~300 men
and women in peace mediation efforts, who are reported to have
resolved -300 conflict situations in their communities
Lobby mediators that have successfully reduced violence to Plateau
by creating incentives to attract them e.g., free housing, exemption
from income taxes
