Resilience Building In Fragile And Conflict-affected Settings Training Course in Kenya
Introduction
Fragile and conflict-affected settings present some of the most complex challenges for humanitarian, development, and governance actors. The Resilience Building in Fragile and Conflict-Affected Settings Training Course is a high-impact, solutions-oriented program that equips professionals with the strategies, tools, and knowledge to strengthen systems, institutions, and communities in the face of multidimensional crises. Whether facing armed conflict, political instability, displacement, or chronic poverty, this course emphasizes transformative resilience strategies that promote recovery, stability, and long-term peace.
Participants will explore how to design and implement resilience-focused interventions that address root causes of fragility, support inclusive governance, and enable communities to absorb, adapt, and transform in the wake of disruption.
