Strengthening Vertical Linkages
About this Project
CIT provided multi-stakeholder mediation training and mentoring to local peacemakers to prepare them to facilitate community consultations on SSR and DDR between a variety of local actors and armed groups. The consultations sought to respond to questions posed by the government to civilians to gather their input on CAR' SSR and DDR process.
Participants gave recommendations that were then communicated to the government. CIT helped develop those strategic communications to strengthen vertical linkages between the government and local communities around SSR and DDR.
CIT facilitated intra-governmental consultations of USIP' SSR Advisory Committee, composed of almost a dozen ministries and civil society leaders, to process the results of the community dialogues.
