Public Courses: Introduction to Conflict Management

Dates: 25-27 March 2009
Location: South Africa

The ACCORD “Introduction to Conflict Management” is a three-day foundational course that aims to provide an overall understanding of conflict and conflict analysis, and to impart skills on how to become an effective conflict resolution practitioner.
ACCORD is the African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes, and our Head Office is in Durban, Kwa-Zulu Natal. For over fifteen years we have been active throughout the African continent in building capacity in government, the public service, the corporate sector, civil society, the military and police, to transform destructive conflicts and build security.
