as become relevant at both central and local levels of government. There is
now much interest among governments and donors in developing good governance
practices to achive more inclusive, responsive and participatory and
accountable governance in multiethnic societies.
The Managing Multiethnic Communities—Training Workshops are designed for
practitionners to raise their awareness about public policies and the role of
central and local governments in a multiethnic environment. The aim of the
training is to equip participants with skills and knowledge whereby
policy-makers can address successfully the needs of multiethnic communities.
Through the training participants will learn how political, legal, and
administrative concepts can relate to the public management of multiethnic
communities. The training also includes various case study exercises aimed at
improving the participants’ capacity to turn those concepts into practice
through policy decisions. Moreover, participants became familiar with various
participatory techniques and policymaking skills, such as conflict and
force-field analysis, mediation, negotiation, and participatory planning.
