Deadline: 01 June, 2020
The Women PeaceMakers Fellowship offers a unique opportunity for women peacebuilders to engage in a cycle of learning, practice, research and strengthening of peacebuilding partnerships through participation in a 12-month programme. The programme is based at the Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice, Kroc School of Peace Studies, University of San Diego.
Knowing the power of women’s participation in peace and security decision-making, the Women PeaceMakers Fellowship aims to drive forward stronger, more effective collaborations between women peacebuilders from conflict-affected communities and international partner organisations. By co-developing evidence-based and data-driven solutions, the women and international organisations who are at the centre of the most serious peacebuilding challenges demonstrate why they are best positioned to influence positive change.
