The ICT4Peace Foundation is proud to announce the signing of an MOU with the Folke Bernadotte Academy (FBA) of Sweden. The parties have agreed to cooperate in the furtherance of training and capacity building in the field of crisis information management for peace support operations. One of the priority projects is the development and testing of a JMAC – CiM training course at African Training Institutions including using ICTs and new media as tools for information collection, analysis and dissemination. This project is part of the work of a consortium lead by ICT4Peace together with the The Cairo Regional Center for Training on Conflict Resolution and Peacekeeping in Africa (CCCPA), Zentrum für Internationale Friedenseinsätze, Berlin and the Crisis Management Center, Finland.

In addition, ICT4Peace’s Daniel Stauffacher and Sanjana Hattotuwa have been and will be teaching at the Folke Bernadotte Accademy.
