Learning from Rwanda: How post conflict education for peace can inform Somalia’s peacebuilding process


Author(s): Mohamud Mohamed Alasso, Abdikarim Mohaidin Ahmed and Amina Omar Mohamud

Abstract: Post-conflict education is central to the long-term success of peace-building initiatives. This paper reviews how post-genocide education in Rwanda was used to build national cohesion and offers lessons to be applied to Somalia's ongoing peace-building process. Specifically, this paper examines Rwanda's post-genocide educational reforms, including curriculum revision, civic education, and teacher training, to understand how they contribute to national reconciliation. A qualitative comparative research design was employed using document and secondary data collected from scholarly and institutional sources. Based upon the data analysis, this paper will discuss both the similarities and differences in the ways Rwanda and Somalia are addressing issues related to post-conflict education and peace-building. Additionally, recommendations are offered that address curriculum development, teacher professionalization, non-formal community peace education, and intergovernmental partnerships.
