Using a participatory multi-stakeholder approach, the GIZ Civil Peace Service works on transformation of conflicts overland and natural resources in Acholi, Karamoja and Teso. This process was developed in 2014 together with over 150 partners representing civil society organisations, government, business, the informal sector as well as cultural and spiritual leaders organized through networks of Interest Groups (IGs). To date, the GIZ Civil Peace Service supports and coordinates 12 Interest Groups with over 200 key stakeholders and member organisations from Acholi, Karamoja and Teso and one national partner organisation based in Kampala. Together, we work on transforming conflicts over natural resources caused by insecurity, large-scale investments and protected areas, as well as supporting governance of customary land including womenโs land rights. We do this by providing safe spaces to expand on peace-building methods of non-violent conflict transformation such as mediation and dialogue. Providing access to information on land management and protection of land rights is central to this process.
