Building peace from the inside phase II: Supporting insider mediation for the sustainable transformation of conflictPolicy briefs
The objective of these short policy briefs is to inform national, regional and international institutions on key topics related to insider mediation and to inform the development of more holistic and supportive policies for insider mediators. While women still face cultural, logistical and security barriers in their participation in local mediations, they are able to play critical and unique roles in mediating family, land, socio-economic, and environmental conflicts, contributing to a high success rate of mediation agreements. The value of building and supporting (informal) networks of insider mediators is key in environments that do not always welcome the contributions of civil society and where more flexible and nimble networks can act as early warning and response mechanisms, raising the chances to achieve sustainable and transformative peace.

Construire la paix de l’intérieur Phase II : Soutenir la médiation interne pour la transformation durable des conflitsNotes d’orientation
L’objectif de ces brèves notes d’orientation est d’informer les institutions nationales, régionales et internationales sur des sujets clés liés à la médiation interne et d’éclairer l’élaboration de politiques plus holistiques et plus favorables aux médiateurs internes. Bien que les femmes soient toujours confrontées à des obstacles culturels, logistiques et sécuritaires lors de leur participation aux médiations locales, elles sont en mesure de jouer un rôle essentiel et unique dans la médiation des conflits familiaux, fonciers, socio-économiques et environnementaux, contribuant ainsi à un taux élevé de réussite des accords de médiation. La valeur de la création et du soutien de réseaux (informels) de médiateurs internes est essentielle dans des milieux qui n’accueillent pas toujours favorablement les interventions de la société civile et où des réseaux plus souples et plus agiles peuvent servir de mécanismes d’alerte et de réponse précoces, augmentant ainsi les chances de parvenir à une paix durable et transformatrice.
