Abstract
The article focuses on a theological approach to peacebuilding and the nature of governance in a community amidst violence, addressing various gender and faith issues. Activities related to political conflicts entail an increase in the gender gap in various types of conflict, such as community-based ones where women and other marginalized groups are always subjected to violence and economic difficulties. Throughout the world, committed religious groups have been driving discourses related to the said matters by means of disseminating a doctrine of equality, justice, and peace. These institutions are faith-based institutions. This study critically examines theology’s influence on governance structures and to what extent they are related to gender-sensitive peacebuilding ways of work. The study reveals faith-based proposals which might provide better ways of inclusive development by joining the contemporary governance methods with religious teachings. Illustrated using cases in Africa, the research article advocates improving not only the immediate but also the long-term peace and development in the area focusing on gender-sensitive theological governance. The study ends with suggestions about the kind of collaborations that organizations and the church might use to encourage post-conflict countries to be more inclusive and gender-equitable in development plans.
