SUMMARY:Training Workshop on Conflict Resolution and Strategic Peacebuilding
DESCRIPTION:Context and Rationale \nConflicts are inherent and inevitable in human lives\, and are characterized in every society including Cameroon. Some of these conflicts have most often turned extremely violent as such the United Nations Charter notes that the United Nations was founded to “save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.” (1) Sadly\, the world has witnessed more than 250 armed conflicts since  1946when the Charter was signed in 1946. Furthermore the Sustainable Development Goal 16: Promote Just\, Peaceful\, and Inclusive Societies\, calls for all Member States to promote peaceful co-existence among peoplee (2).  Some of its primary targets have been to significantly reduce all forms of violence worldwide including in Cameroon (3).\nSince 2014\, Cameroon has been grappling with two major armed conflicts: Boko Haram in the North and the Anglophone armed conflict in the Northwest and Southwest regions.  Furthermore\, there have also been rising ethnopolitical hostilities which is putting the country in an uncomfortable security situation (4).\nSince 2017\, the conflict between the government and separatists from the English-speaking minority has taken more than 6\,000 lives and displaced 765\,000 people\, out of which 70\,000 are refugees in Nigeria (5). In addition\, the country is also encountering a refreshed jihadist extremism rebellion with a virulent onslaught in the Lake Chad area. The war with Boko Haram\, orchestrated in the  Northern part of the country\, has killed more than 3\,000 people and has displaced about 250\,000  (6). In addition\, the social\, economic\, and political landscape in the country is promising an unhealthy security atmosphere soon if not well handled\, reminiscing the 2008 uprising that resulted from the socioeconomic factors.\nAs these conflicts rage on\, women and youth are more impacted. Notwithstanding\, research has demonstrated that fewer youths have actively participated in this violence\, while most of them are not inclined to violence\, despite the injustices\, alienation\, and deprivation they encounter on daily basis\, especially in these war-ravaged regions (7). Moreover\,  growing research further suggests that women and youths can and do play active roles as brokers of positive and meaningful change\, and the recently adopted Security Council Resolution 2250 on Youth\, Peace\, and Security and the UNSCR1325 on women and peacebuilding highlight this fact.  They are a formal recognition of the positive role youth and women can play in the maintenance of international peace and security  (8).\nThe enhancement and upkeep of world peace and security is a cross-cutting issue that is critical to achieving all Sustainable Development Goals. It is from this premise that many organizations including UN agencies are involved in the promotion and maintenance of peace and security across all sectors (9).\nIt is in this light that the Peace and Security Division of the Nkafu Policy Institute is organizing a training workshop to train youth and women on conflict resolution and peace building strategies as a means to mitigate and or resolve conflicts in their communities. This training workshop is part of a series of conflict resolution and peace building training offered to address issues of the conflict; following the horrors of the Anglophone armed conflict and the Boko Haram insurgency in Cameroon and the need to fill the knowledge and skill gaps in conflict resolution and peace building agenda. \nObjective \nThe main objective of this training workshop is to equip the target audience with a solid foundation on conflict resolution and peace building to minimize conflict occurrences. Specifically\, this training workshop is aimed at introducing to participants the strategies to prevent\, manage and resolve conflicts\, and build peace and social cohesion in their respective communities. \nTarget Audience \nThe Training Workshop are designed for women and youths\, CSOs leaders\, human rights defenders\, students\, peace and security actors\, government employees\, women leaders\, researchers\, and educators\, can attend the training. \nConditions for participation  \nParticipants are required to pay a registration fee of CFA franc 15\,000 for snacks\, workshop materials\, and certificates. \nExpected Results \nAt the end of the training participants will be expected to acquire the following: \nHave in-depth knowledge of conflict resolution and strategic peacebuilding;\nAcquire skills in conflict resolution and strategic peacebuilding;\nCreate a network and collaboration with other stakeholders about conflict resolution and peacebuilding; and\nBecome committed to conflict and peacebuilding in their respective communities. \nLocation and Date  \nThe training workshop will take place on 22-23 March 2023at the Denis & Lenora Foretia Foundation Hall situated at Simbock\, Yaoundé- Cameroon \nTraining Facilitators \nThis training workshop will be conducted by experts and consultants in conflict resolution and peacebuilding.\n  \nMore Information \nDenis & Lenora Foretia Foundation.\nTel: (+237) 22 31 15 84 / 654 86 72 54\ninfo@foretiafoundation.org – www.foretiafoundation.org

SUMMARY:Remote supervision in health care delivery: An emerging tool with great potential for resource-poor settings
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, March 23th\, 2023Time: 15:00 to 16:30\nZoom Online (Register Here)\nRemote supervision is part of teleworking or telecommuting that enables managers or supervisors to monitor or coordinate the activities of individuals or groups from a distance with limited face-face contact. The history of remote supervision is extensive\, and its popularity will only increase as the years pass. The new Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic has provided more opportunities for people to telework and fueled a worldwide incentive to invest and research more effective ways of enhancing the remote work environment. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development\, covid 19 has caused the rate of teleworking to increase by more than 50% of the working population (OECD\, 2021). Telecommunication platforms and innovative digital tools have undoubtedly played a significant role in consolidating the advances made with remote working and shaping this workplace ecosystem in the decades to come.\nFor remote working to be most efficient\, however\, supervision mechanisms need to be incorporated to mimic and even improve the models of supervision in the in-person workplace environment. This calls for contextualization and adaptation of supervision tools to allow for remote supervision. Given the central role that digital telecommunication tools play in remote work\, components of digital technologies must be incorporated into this supervision model.\nObjective:\nThis webinar aims to explore the requirements and effectiveness of remote supervision in resource-poor settings and to discuss various strategies that can be used to overcome some of the common challenges of online supervision in low-income countries.\nThematic areas for discussion will include but not be limited to \nUnderstanding the concept and requirements for remote supervision as a norm in project management\nExploring the socio-labor conditions associated with remote supervision\, including working from home\nUnderstanding how supervisors maintain social contact virtually during remote supervision?\nDiscussing the impact of remote supervision on managerial support and communication\nBrainstorming how remote supervision can be improved to mimic face-to-face supervision.\nMitigating the challenges associated with remote supervision in low and middle-income countries. \nTarget Audience \nInternational community\nNon-Governmental Organizations\nMinistries of Health\nClinicians\nPublic health experts\nBiostatisticians\nCommunication Specialist\nDigital technology experts \nModerator\nDr Gobina Ronald\nHealth of Division\, Nkafu Policy Institute\,\nDenis and Lenora Foretia Foundation\nSimbock Yaounde\, Cameroon
