The Centre has engaged in activities that helped shape and influence policy formulation in governance, peace and security, human rights in the region. We are committed to ensuring that the learning acquired through our programmes is used to inform and strengthen policy and practice that will promote peace and development.  We provide training and capacity building on specific topics for a wide variety of local and international organisations, including NGOs, governments, international development, donor agencies and businesses. Some of this training is through targeted workshops and seminars but we also produce a range of training materials and resource packs. The Centre also organizes training for senior government officials, policy makers and civil society activists. The Centre equally conducts high quality research on matters related to peace, security, human rights and governance.
