Published purpose

The Conflict and Resilience Research Institute Canada (CRRIC) aims to lead coordination, research, training, and facilitation activities and engage Canadian experts in the Charting a Path to Lasting Peace in MN initiative. The project is based in Winnipeg, Canada, with activities in Bangladesh, Myanmar, Indonesia, and Malaysia through collaborating partners like the Center for Alternatives (Bangladesh) and will be implemented over a 24-month period. This project seeks to evaluate and develop a sustainable peace model for Myanmar through 2 main phases: Phase 1 involves a comprehensive study and analysis of Track II diplomacy, examining the Aceh and Oslo Peace Processes to identify key actors, mechanisms, and strategies applicable to Myanmar. Phase 2 focuses on training and knowledge sharing by facilitating workshops and conducting virtual training sessions with Smartsettle to share research findings and train selected stakeholders in Myanmar, the broader Indo-Pacific region, and Canadian actors. This project is aligned with IPS Strategic Objective (1) Promoting Peace, Resilience, and Security and Objective (3) Investing in and Connecting People.
