AFRICA, PEACE AND CONFLICT: Dr. Jean-Bosco Butera is director of the Africa Programme at the University for Peace (UPEACE). The programme focuses on the necessity to stimulate and strengthen Africa's ability to teach, train and conduct research in areas of peace and conflict studies. In his Nov. 19 University of Victoria President's Distinguished Lecture entitled "Building Capacity for Peace in Africa," Butera will discuss how the programme contributes to a better understanding of conflicts in Africa, their prevention and the creation of an environment for lasting peace to ensure the sustainable development of Africa.

He is currently the patron of Never Again Rwanda, a chapter of Never Again International, a collaborative international network that aims to promote a constructive exchange of ideas to prevent violent conflict and remedy its effects.
