Social Resilience, Gendered Dynamics, and Local Peace in Protracted Conflicts

About

The ResilienceBuilding project studies the causes and consequences of civilian agency for self-protection and violence prevention in contexts characterised by civil war, communal conflict, local peacebuilding, and international peacekeeping. Our research streams integrate climate change, gender equality, and local-national conflict linkages into peacebuilding research. 
The project is led by Professor Jana Krause at the University of Oslo. The team pursues empirical multi-method research in South Sudan, Nigeria, Kenya, and the Central African Republic.
