The SCBRC Justice and Peace Department organized a Training of Trainers’ Workshop from the 5th to the 15th of March, 2007. The workshop took place at Pan Door, Rumbek and was attended by participants from six Catholic Dioceses of El Obeid, Malakal, Rumbek, Torit, Tombura-Yambio, and Wau. The Archdiocese of Juba and the diocese of Yei were not able to send their participants. It was the first time that the dioceses of El Obeid and Malakal were teaming up the dioceses under SCBRC to do training on Justice and Peace.
Present also were, United Nation Mission in Sudan (UNIMIS) Civil Affairs and Human Rights Departments, and a team from the Judiciary of Southern Sudan who shared their mandate and experiences with the participants.
The major objective of the workshop was to enhance the capacity of the dioceses in responding to Justice and Peace issues after the signing of the CPA. It also had the aim of fostering closer cooperation between SCBRC and the dioceses, ensuring quality and timely reports from the dioceses and SCBRC.
The participants were trained on a number of areas including, the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), Social Reconstruction of Southern Sudan, Healing and Reconciliation, Human Rights, Advocacy and Networking, Formation and strengthening of Justice and Peace Committees, Report writing and organizing workshops.
The workshop was facilitated by the following people:
Fr. Eliseo Mercado, OMI, consultant on Peace Agreements, Reconstruction, Healing and Reconciliation (JPIC Rome & Philippines).
Donough Ryan, Regional Advocacy Officer, Trocaire.
Julius Ojok, Lawyer, Justice and Peace Coordinator, SCBRC.
Dinah Makori, Administrative Assistant SCBRC
The team also had the benefit of great presentations and sharing from John Ashworth and a team of youth from the dioceses of Witbank and Cape Town, South Africa.
(The workshop was funded by SCBRC Partner, the Caritas Ireland – Trocair
