Abstract
AbstractNongovernmental organizations (NGOs), governments, church groups, and individuals are increasingly conducting or funding conflict resolution training and related projects in war‐torn countries. These projects aim to promote peace, reconciliation, and dialogue, and to impart practical skills and methods for resolving conflict nonviolently. The authors argue that for these goals to be met, considerable time and care must be invested in assessing cultural differences, political realities, bureaucratic hurdles, and logistical challenges prior to plunging for ward with a training workshop or other activity. In addition, thoughtful and thorough follow‐up after a training is as important as attentive preparation before the training. Furthermore, modified elicitive models of training seem best designed to identify and incorporate cultural differences during training. This article draws on the experience of Search for Common Ground, a Washington, D.C.‐based NGO, in developing such a project in Angola.
