Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (CODEP), has conducted three days workshop in Tambura County on the provision of identification of tribes to create awareness and advocacy on Gender Equality in making decisions for peacebuilding.

CODEP is running a series of activities under the Catholic Diocese of Tambura Yambio, and the Peace Building Project which was funded by the United States Embassy Juba, implemented by CODEP under Peace Building.

 The three-day workshop brought about 60 participants from different communities in Tambura, basing their discussion on focus group discussions with chiefs, faith Based, youth, students, women, and men on conflict resolutions and transformation.

Speaking during the opening of the three-day training, Mr. Justin Gunde Michael the acting Executive Director of Tambura County, acknowledged that this peace-building program is very important to the communities of Tambura because they are yearning for peace adding that CODEP is doing great work in Tambura, Yambio, and Ezo which means they will have sustainable peace.

The participants acknowledged that they have seen a great change in this peace-building program and asked CODEP to continue with the program in Tambura for better peace in their localities.
