This Training Manual and Handbook on Integrating Peacebuilding and Mental Health and Psychosocial Support contributes to the development of learning and teaching resources based on participatory methodology, which is relevant to practitioners, trainers and impacted communities. The aim is to include workshop participants and donors in as much of the planning process as possible, such as project design and implementation. Interventions co-designed by and implanted with the communities directly affected bey them are more likely to lead to lasting mindset and behavioural changes beyond the project.

It is also necessary to capacitate and sensitize stakeholders to engage and utilize the provisions of the African Union Transitional Justice Policy (AUTJP) relating to psychosocial peacebuilding to inform and guide the national reconciliation processes in their countries.
