The initiative aimed to strengthen knowledge, skills, and confidence related to women’s leadership, participation, representation, decision making, conflict resolution, mediation, advocacy, and peacebuilding.\\r\\nThrough interactive learning sessions, practical exercises, group discussions, and experience sharing, participants enhanced their understanding of inclusive governance, gender responsive peacebuilding, and the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. The training also fostered stronger collaboration among community stakeholders and local institutions to promote meaningful participation of women and marginalized groups in peace and security processes.\\r\\nThis activity was implemented by UCDO with technical leadership and coordination support from TIMRAN Project Support and financial support from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) of the United Kingdom. The training contributes to building more inclusive, peaceful, and resilient communities in Tarmaber Woreda by empowering women to take active leadership roles in community dialogue, peacebuilding, and local decision making processes.\\r\\nEmpowered women are essential partners in building sustainable peace, inclusive governance, and stronger communities.\\r\\n |
