Peace Council trains peace agents for conflict prevention, dispute resolution in Savannah Region

The Savannah Regional Peace Council has trained Community Peace Agents from the border communities of Kukuteen, Garmayiri and Jinavore, as well as members of the Local Peace Committee of Lewuriyiri, to strengthen their capacities in conflict prevention and peaceful dispute resolution.

Mr Kennedy Atiibo, Executive Secretary of the Savannah Regional Peace Council, said Community Peace Agents and Local Peace Committee members played critical roles in sustaining peace in border communities, particularly areas that had experienced tensions in recent years.

Mr Atiibo urged the Community Peace Agents and members of the Local Peace Committees to remain impartial, professional and transparent in mediation processes, ensuring that all parties had equal opportunities to be heard without intimidation or interference.
