GET CERTIFIED IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION

GET CERTIFIED IN CONFLICT MANAGEMENT: GET INDUCTED BASED ON EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATION 

Introduction

From the time man evolved systems of fixed settlements situated in specific geographic areas, conflicts between these settlements, villages or cities whichever they were called, became intensified for the purpose of domination over ever larger areas of land for each settled community. History abounds with examples of resolution of these conflicts through dialogue. Conflict resolution has become today, a high profile subject taught in universities and lectured on, at many a seminar and conference. Experts in this field are held in awe in some circles in many countries. Yet, conflict resolution is not new. It has only been packaged differently in our age. Conflict resolution has been an important part of human life since ancient times, when humans grouped together to form communities to live in co-operation with each other. We are also aware of nomadic communities that have fought against each other for domination over certain areas of land and thereafter arrived at resolutions of the problem through discussion and various arrangements.

Conflict management skills are necessary for any so-called "civilized" society. They are fundamental to any democratic process. In any country, issues of excessive, generalised levels of violence in all ethnic and socio-economic levels need to be addressed. It has become apparent that there is an indisputable link between peace and development. Development without peace is not sustainable and peace without development is not durable. The linkage between the two needs to be understood, strengthened and operationalized so that policy and practice in these related areas can be mutually reinforcing. Moreover, actualizing the linkage between development and peace is directly related to building governance capacity. It requires developing institutional and human resources for managing diversity and disputes in stable environments, building capacity to mitigate disputes in emerging conflict situations, and developing governance mechanisms to support reconciliation, co-existence and conflict management efforts in post-conflict situations.
