Estelle Gautier, Project manager of GTZ, a German based organisation which provides funding for the Peace and Development Programme (PDP) hands over a PDP handbook to Craig Arendse at the MTP Kick-off party.
MTP and GTZ have developed a great partnership over the past 5-6 years. GTZ provides funding for the Peace and Development Programme (PDP).
The main purpose of the Peace and Development Programme is to empower young community peace workers in the area of Peace Building, which includes Conflict Resolution, Mediation, Communication Skills and Leadership skills.
During May 2010, MTP trained over 300 Peace Workers in Conflict Management during Large Events. The main purpose of this training intervention was to equip the peace workers with key skills on how to manage conflict and disputes during large events. These Peace Workers will be deployed to various areas in Tshwane during June 2010 to assist with resolving disputes during the World Cup season.
When Estelle Gautier of GTZ attended the MTP Kick-off party on June 8th, she gave Craig Arendse a copy of the newly published PDP handbook. The PDP handbook includes all the information on the programme and training events and features MTP’s training interventions.
“MTP is proud to be associated with GTZ and will partner with this institution in the future”, said Craig Arendse of MTP-SA.
