Peacebuilding and Local Ownership: A Handbook for Practice

This handbook has been designed by Natalie Jester, Gilberto Algar-Faria and Ana E. Juncos of the University of Bristol, supported by funding from the Impact Acceleration Account of the Economic and Social Research Council. The PeaceCapacity project draws on the research findings of the EU-CIVCAP project, which examines the role of the EU’s civilian capabilities for conflict prevention and peacebuilding. EU-CIVCAP is ongoing, however one of its key findings is that local ownership is vital for sustainable peacebuilding. PeaceCapacity has been designed to contribute to filling this ownership gap.
