This course delves into the multidimensional aspects of post-conflict stabilization and
recovery, emphasizing governance restoration, rule of law, and justice processes.
Participants explore cross-cutting principles of stabilization, programming tools, and
critical frameworks like human rights and human security approaches. Through
interactive learning, they assess actor roles, risks, and develop innovative recovery
strategies suitable for complex post-conflict settings.
Designed for full-time professionals, this 11-week course is structured to balance in-
depth learning with flexible scheduling. The course begins with 2 reading weeks to
build foundational knowledge, followed by 6 interactive, staff-led weeks that focus on
peer-led discussions and practical applications. During these interactive weeks,
participants will engage in two one-hour “Expert Corner” webinars and, on alternate
weeks, a one-hour “Virtual Coffee” session for informal networking and discussion.
To accommodate varying schedules, availability for these sessions is coordinated
through participant polling. For those taking the course for credit, the final 3 weeks
are dedicated to completing assessments. Most of the course is asynchronous to
accommodate full-time work schedules, ensuring accessibility and flexibility for all
participants.
