Cross-cutting themes of extreme relevance, like the protection of civilians, the child protection, the integration of the perspective of gender, the conduct and discipline — with direct focus in the prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA) — and the techniques of communication for political advisors, integrated also the programmatic curriculum.
This participation translates the unequivocal commitment of JOINT with the agenda of the peace and security, basilar pillars for the sustainable development that the organization advocates. The specialized knowledge here acquired will enrich the programmatic approach of JOINT, endowing it of robust tools to integrate an in-depth perspective of analysis of conflicts and consolidation of the peace in its projects, with a direct and positive impact in the work along with the communities.
With this initiative, JOINT reaffirms its continuous commitment in to invest in the technical capacitation of its cadres, aiming an increasingly substantive and qualified contribution for the stability, security and sustainable development in Mozambique and in the African continent.
