Speaking during the training of 27 Foot Peace Ambassadors the District Police Commander of Bundibugyo SP Martin Tukahebwa noted

In total 47 Foot Peace Ambassadors were trained in conflict analysis and prevention skills and thereafter, the FPA will use the skills to train members of their community based organisations in peace education and consensus building. The FPA will use innovative methods to do peace education and will also mainstream other issues like Hiv/Aids, environment, poverty and gender concerns since these are also grounds for triggering conflicts in the communities.

The Concept of Foot Peace Ambassadors has paid off, as the communities have embraced the program and are replicating the same in their localities. http://ric-netnews.blogspot.ug/2016/09/new-foot-peace-ambassadors-have-been.html
