In this video Woli Julius Nyombe tells us how the learning programme Conflict Transformation and Peacebuilding has added new perspectives and dimensions to the skills and tools he needs in his work, and on how he should move forward. He has acquired a better understanding of the do’s and don’ts in conflict mediation and he feels better equipped to contribute to his countries peacebuilding efforts.

Woli Julius Nyombe works as Senior Programme Officer at DanChurchAid in South Sudan. He participated in the Danida Fellowship Centre’s learning programme Conflict Transformation and Peacebuilding in November- December 2021.

South Sudan, the world’s youngest country, is facing one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world. Several years of civil war, conflict, internal displacement, and drought have left the population in acute distress.

Danida Fellowship Centre’s “Conflict Transformation and Peace Building” learning programme 2021 was facilitated by Mie Roesdahl and Bjørn Nygaard, Nordic Consulting Group. Read more about our learning programmes here.
