An extract from the speech attached:

“This is the beginning of a yearlong capacity building programme that aims to build a cadre of Peace builders in the Pacific – representing governments, CROP agencies and Civil Society Organizations – to work together on regional and national Peace building interventions.

The main goal of the project is to build a community of peace practitioners in the Pacific to Share resources, materials, approaches and tap into the expertise that lies within people Working on these issues on a daily basis in the region.

It’s a structured space (both virtual and face-to-face) to reflect and learn from one another on an ongoing basis. It’s a space to collect stories, manuals, curricula and case studies and make them available to whoever needs them. The project will fund small peace activities in order to put theory into practice.”
