Custodians of Peace has been conceptualized by UNITAR upon request of the Commissioner for Peace and Security of the African Union. The creation and activation of FemWise-Africa in 2017 constitute an ambitious attempt on the part of the African Union to institutionalize African women’s good mediation and conflict prevention practices from the grassroots level upwards and to create entry points for female community leaders and peacemakers to more effectively access and take part in peace processes. Against this backdrop, the overall project will systematically develop the capacities of African women from a variety of backgrounds to effectively take part in mediation and conflict prevention efforts across the African continent.

We are looking for native North African and Middle East Arabic speakers who have experience in voice acting. The volunteers will be asked to produce voice recordings of very high quality to support our online Training of trainers course.
