Pendant la crise politico-militaire en C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, le District des Montagnes, \u00e0 l\u2019ouest du pays, \u00e9tait particuli\u00e8rement affect\u00e9, faisant face \u00e0 une absence flagrante d\u2019autorit\u00e9 \u2013 tant \u00e9tatique que coutumi\u00e8re. En r\u00e9ponse, des Comit\u00e9s de Paix men\u00e9s par les communaut\u00e9s ont \u00e9t\u00e9 mis en place principalement \u00e0 l\u2019initiative des ONGs afin de servir comme m\u00e9canisme alternatif de r\u00e9solution des conflits et de pr\u00e9vention de violence. Avec la fin de la crise et la normalisation graduelle de la situation humanitaire, de nombreuses ONGs ont quitt\u00e9 le District des Montagnes alors que les autorit\u00e9s coutumi\u00e8res et \u00e9tatiques y retournaient. Tandis qu\u2019un nombre significatif des Comit\u00e9s de Paix n\u2019a pas su s\u2019adapter au nouveau contexte et a par cons\u00e9quent cess\u00e9 d\u2019exister, d\u2019autres ont r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 se r\u00e9inventer en modifiant leurs mandat et approche afin de rester pertinent et faire face aux nouveaux d\u00e9fis.<\/p>\n
Le film pr\u00e9sente les \u00e9l\u00e9ments cl\u00e9s de succ\u00e8s qui contribuent \u00e0 la p\u00e9rennisation des actions des Comit\u00e9s de Paix dans le District des Montagnes en C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire\u00a0: 1) Les Comit\u00e9s de Paix mettent d\u00e9sormais le focus sur une implication plus forte des communaut\u00e9s et notamment des femmes ainsi que sur des dialogues individuels \u00e0 la place des campagnes de sensibilisation de masse. Cette approche aide \u00e0 identifier de mani\u00e8re plus efficace les pr\u00e9occupations des membres de la communaut\u00e9 et \u00e0 anticiper et pr\u00e9venir des sources potentielles de violence en r\u00e9unissant tous les acteurs \u2013 y inclus les auteurs de violence \u2013 autour de la table. 2) Les Comit\u00e9s de Paix sont devenu un soutien effectif des autorit\u00e9s locales et repr\u00e9sentent ainsi des acteurs essentiels de l\u2019infrastructure locale pour la paix. 3) La force motrice derri\u00e8re les Comit\u00e9s de Paix est l\u2019engagement citoyen de la part des membres de la communaut\u00e9 dont la motivation personnelle est de contribuer \u00e0 la paix au niveau local.<\/p>\n
During the military-political crisis in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, the Mountain District in the West of the country was particularly affected and faced a striking lack of State and traditional authorities. As a response, community-led peace committees were put into place mainly by NGOs in order to provide for an alternative dispute resolution and violence prevention mechanism. With end of the crisis and a gradual normalisation of the humanitarian situation, many NGOs left, whereas State and traditional authorities moved back to the Mountain District. While a significant number of these peace committees did not manage to adapt to the evolving context and thus ceased to exist, some peace committees managed to reinvent their mandate and their approach in order to remain relevant and to face new challenges.<\/p>\n
This film presents key success factors that contribute to the sustainability of the peace committees\u2019 actions in the Mountain District in Western C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire: 1) the local peace committees now focus on a stronger involvement\u00a0 of the community, especially of women, as well as on an individual dialogue rather than mass awareness raising campaigns. This approach helps more effectively to detect people\u2019s preoccupations at an early stage and to anticipate and prevent potential sources of conflict by gathering all actors - including perpetrators of violence - around the table; 2) local peace committees have become an effective support for local authorities in their daily work, which makes them an essential actor for the local peace architecture; 3) the driving force behind the sustainable actions of the committees is the personal commitment of its members whose personal and sole motivation is to contribute to peace in their community.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":8579,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":0,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","editor_plus_copied_stylings":"{}","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"globales":[],"initiatives":[854],"language":[66],"programmes":[67,69],"programme_resources":[],"resource-type":[],"resource_theme":[510],"videos_vimeo":[],"resources_categories":[],"class_list":["post-8577","resource","type-resource","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","initiatives-fostering-sustainable-cohesion","language-french","programmes-west-africa","programmes-cote-divoire","resource_theme-dialogue"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
