Following the two-day partner writing workshop in July with the Australian Civil Military Centre (ACMC), the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies (CPCS), and Niti Foundation, we refined methodological challenges, practice insights, and policy recommendations gathered over the past year of on-the-ground research.

Drawing on experiences from the Bangsamoro, Myanmar, Nepal, and Vanuatu, our collaborative research emphasises the importance of considering community needs and applying peace-building frameworks when taking new approaches to civil safety and security during crises and transitional periods.
