About this Event

Host Organization: The Institute African Studies

Moderated discussion with Sarah Onyango Followed by Q&A

Atireless peacemaker, conflict mediator and gender equality advocate, Alice has mediated and brokered peace in multiple ethnic conflicts throughout Africa.

She has tirelessly worked to promote pluralism at all levels of conflict prevention by empowering diverse voices and including historically excluded groups in the mediation process. She has also developed peace education curricula and trained other female mediators. Female mediators are significantly underrepresented in peacebuilding; Alice’s work proves that making peace is very much women’s business.
