Welcome to the project "Whole of Society Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding", or WOSCAP. Its objective is to enhance the capabilities of the EU for implementing conflict prevention and peacebuilding interventions through sustainable, comprehensive and innovative civilian means.

It will assess the current capabilities, and identify gaps, best practices, lessons learned and research priorities. In addition, a ‘community of practice' and forums for dialogue will bring together policymakers, civilian and military practitioners, academic experts and the beneficiaries of EU interventions. It will produce a tailored set of recommendations on what policy priorities and information and communication technologies are needed for effective civilian conflict prevention.

This space will contain updates on progress, latest publications, upcoming events, and more. Find what you are looking for in one the following sections, which respond to the project's 4 sub-objectives:
