Stability Through Resilience (STR) programme

The Stability Through Resilience (STR) programme (2017-2020), funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (ARC fund), is implemented in West- and South Darfur. The Hague Academy, as an implementing partner of VNG International, was responsible for delivering a series of capacity building activities on the topics of decentralisation, inclusive governance, social accountability, gender and conflict-sensitive planning and budgeting, and dialogue and conflict resolution. The capacity building modalities used include Training of Trainers (ToT), coaching teams of national trainers during training in Darfur, distant coaching and facilitating action plan follow-up workshops.
