Our colleague Rodayna Said from #CCCPA’s Peace Operations’ team participated in the #AfricanUnion training titled “Pilot Training on the revised AU curriculum on #Protection of #Civilians in Peace Support Operations”, held from 26th to 30th August, 2024, in Abuja, Nigeria. The training was organized by the African Union’s Peace Support Operations Division (#PSOD), and hosted by the Nigerian National Defense College (NDC). The pilot training focused primarily on the revised 2023 AfricanUnion Policy on #PoC in #AU #peace #support #operations, and addressed the emerging PoC needs in #AU #PSOs, delving into participants’ experience to draw lessons learned and best practices, arising from the evolving conflict dynamics. The training took place against a background of growing momentum to deploy #AU-led #PSOs, in light of the recent adoption of #UNSCR 2719 on the financing of such operations through #UN assessed contributions. The Pilot training shed light on a myriad of topics ranging from the context of #AU-led #PSOs, and the imperative for protecting civilians, to addressing #PoC in #UN #peacekeeping #operations, as well as #AU-led #PSOs, highlighting the #AU strategy for implementing the #PoC policy aforementioned, encompassing child protection and gender considerations. The training emphasized the interlinkages between #humanitarian negotiations and #PoC, as well as the importance of strategic #communication in implementing the mandate, all while highlighting the relevance of #PoC in #post #conflict #reconstruction and #development (#PCRD), in #security #sector #reform (#SSR) and in elections in situations of armed conflicts.

Democratic Republic of Congo: the escalation in violence in #NorthKivu is displacing a significant number of civilians and increasing casualties from shelling and different types of attacks. By January 2024, the use of explosives and remote violence, specifically shelling and air strikes, had quadrupled compared to the average in 2023. North Kivu hosts the largest #refugee population in the country with 164,000 people in April 2024. The conflict has greatly affected #humanitarian access and the distribution of essential humanitarian assistance.

🌍 Honoured to be featured by the Assembly of European Regions (AER) in an insightful interview on Displaced Talent for Europe (DT4E)! 🌍 Yesterday, on International Migrants Day, the Assembly of European Regions published an interview in which we reflected on the transformative impact of labour mobility programmes like DT4E. At a time of acute labour shortages in Europe these initiatives not only contribute to filling critical skills gaps but also provide displaced talents with opportunities to carve out sustainable futures for themselves and contribute to Europe’s societies. 💬 As Ammar Kolko, a DT4E participant, shared: “Give a chance to displaced individuals, because their enthusiasm, passion to contribute, and dedication know no bounds.” 📌 Read the full interview to learn more about our work and the impact of DT4E. #DT4E #Inclusion #SkillsForEurope

Haiti support mission faces unpredictable response. Police from various nations are preparing to back Haitian forces, but gang leaders will strive to defend their interests. Impacts: ➡ Stronger security forces could see gangs disperse quickly in some areas, in order to better defend others. ➡ Securing transport infrastructure and facilities such as hospitals will probably be priorities for the security forces. ➡ Improved security should facilitate deliveries of food, water and medicine to communities, including IDP sites. ➡ Any reports of human rights abuses on the part of foreign police could quickly turn public opinion against the deployment.

CACCI FIELD NOTES Vulnerability to Climate Change in Senegal! Since 2015, Senegal has been engaged in the process of developing its National Adaptation Plan (NAP). In this context, assessing household vulnerability to climate change is an important step to identify medium- and long-term adaptation options. The aim of this brief is to provide household vulnerability assessments to support the design and implementation of ongoing climate adaptation actions. To this end, we have followed the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) framework to estimate the composite Vulnerability to Climate Change (VCC) Index.

🌍 Chitwan Declaration: Ambitious Goals, Transforming the Future of Rangers 🛡 As we gear up for the 10th IRF World Ranger Congress in France next month, let’s reflect on the incredible progress since the 9th IRF Congress in Nepal. In 2019, close on 550 participants from 70 countries gathered in Sauraha, Nepal, representing ranger associations and conservation organizations. Together, they forged a bold vision for rangers worldwide—the Chitwan Declaration. This was a powerful roadmap to tackle the challenges rangers face and to meet their urgent needs. The Chitwan Declaration calls on ranger employers, associations, NGOs, and conservation partners to unite under seven key pillars: 🌿 Ranger Welfare 🏞 Rangers and Communities  🛡 Indigenous Rangers 📈 Ranger Capacity ♀ Gender Equality 🤝 Ranger Associations 🔧 Technology This declaration was more than just words as a commitment to transforming the ranger workforce, equipping them with the tools, recognition, and support to protect our planet’s natural and cultural resources. 👉 Learn more about the Chitwan Declaration and how it has been shaping the future of rangers: 🔗 Chitwan Declaration: https://lnkd.in/dZCSCE52 #WeStandWithWorldRangers #RangersFor30x30

Balochistan has been facing insurgency and violence for decades, driven by sub-nationalist groups. These groups claim exploitation of natural resources, enforced disappearances, and underdevelopment as their key grievances. However, the analysis suggests that these claims are exaggerated to gain public support. Balochistan does receive economic benefits from its resources, and improvements in human development have been ongoing. The instability is largely seen as being driven by external geopolitical forces, with the objective of undermining Pakistan's economic initiatives like the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
