The deadline for applications is December each year.38 Programme in Peacemaking and Preventative Diplomacy: The focus of the UN Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) Training Programme to Enhance the Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding Capacities of Indigenous Peoples’ Representatives is a problem-solving negotiation approach to strengthen participants’ capacity to more effectively negotiate to have their needs met, while also promoting constructive relationships between members of minority communities and those in the dominant community. UNITAR also organizes this programme at the regional level, which includes specific sessions on identity and conflict. In addition, UNITAR organizes an annual regional training programme for African Government officials and UN peacekeeping operation staff, and the UNITAR-International Peace Academy Fellowship Programme in Peacemaking and Preventive Diplomacy for mid and senior-level UN staff and international diplomats using negotiation simulations focusing on minority concerns and strengthening skills in conflict analysis and mediation.39 More information on the Fund, including application forms and criteria, can be found on the website: http://www2.ohchr.org/english/about/funds/slavery/ (accessed 9 August 2009). 38 For more information see http://www.unitar.org/pmcp/ (accessed 9 August 9, 2009). 39 Chapter 6: Capacity Development 99
