The Oxford Global Security Programme partnered with the UN System Staff College, the Danish Refugee Council, and International Alert to host a virtual cross-stakeholder forum that brought together civil society, the international community, and academia. This unique cross-stakeholder methodology facilitated exploring different perspectives —from three different continents— on topics such as the transition from war to peace, uncertainty, and perceived and experienced insecurities.
Between August and September 2022, the Oxford Global Security Programme and International Alert jointly hosted a virtual cross-stakeholder forum. This event brought together civil society, the international community, and academia to better understand and learn from how communities experience changing conflict situations. Specifically centered on the Shan, Karen, and Kachin states, the forum delved into community experiences of conflict changes and related uncertainties. Through its cross-stakeholder methodology, the Oxford Global Security Programme enabled diverse views on conflict dynamics and their community impact.
In December 2022, the Oxford Global Security Programme partnered with the Danish Refugee Council to host a virtual cross-stakeholder forum that brought together civil society, the international community, and academia. The focus was on discussing challenges from evolving conflict dynamics, fostering cross-stakeholder collaboration, and sharing good practices that mitigate the adverse effects of armed conflict in the Horn of Africa. Through its cross-stakeholder methodology, the Oxford Global Security Programme enabled diverse views on conflict dynamics and their community impact.
This synthesis summarises the good practices adopted by local communities exposed to armed conflict across three continents and shared during the Oxford Global Security Programme’s cross-stakeholder fora. This unique cross-stakeholder format facilitated exploring different perspectives on topics such as the transition from war to peace, uncertainty, and perceived and experienced insecurities.
