Stemming electoral violence in transition and fragile environments requires understanding the broader landscape of the conflict and how that conflict is managed. With important elections in Africa on the horizon in 2014 and 2015, this course will examine specific examples from cases across Africa in order to analyze how electoral violence was prevented or mitigated through effective strategic planning and policymaking.

"The popular U.S. Institute of Peace course on preventing violence seems to find the right balance between theoretical underpinnings and practical application."— It All Starts with Training

The cases will include Nigeria, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Kenya, countries whose stability is important not only to their regions but also to the international community and to U.S. foreign policy goals.

This course will help practitioners identify triggers of electoral violence and develop an action plan to help stem this violence. Participants will learn how to build positive relationships among civil society, local and national government agencies, and regional and international organizations.
