Brief information on the project
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a German government-owned organisation which implements development projects in over 130 countries worldwide on behalf of the German government. GIZ is part of the Civil Peace Service (CPS) programme. CPS works in 21 countries with more than 100 international experts and a similar number of local experts. In the Great Lakes Region of Africa, the CPS is executed as a regional programme and covers the countries Rwanda, Burundi and the Eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It supports local civil society organisations in identifying and strengthening local peace initiatives for social cohesion (Outcome 1) and fostering youth’s resilience to manipulation and calls for violence (Outcome 2). Moreover, it seeks to increase partner organisations’ (POs) capacities, effectiveness, and performance (Outcome 3). The programme cooperates with 15 partner organisations, 7 in Rwanda, 4 in Burundi and 4 in Eastern DRC (North and South Kivu).
In addition to the Regional Programme, since 2014 GIZ-CPS also has a Refugee Component that works with UNHCR as well as six other partner organisations in three refugee camps and their respective host communities in the South and East of Rwanda.

Context
GIZ-CPS has been working with local partner organisations (POs) in Rwanda since 2001, in Burundi since 2009 and in South and North Kivu since 2019. The POs are supported 1) with funding for (joint) projects and 2) by provision of capacity development measures. The latter include trainings provided to administrative, operational and management staff as well as tailor-made advisory support to individual POs.

• Developing learning materials which will be made available to CPS afterwards
