Core Technical Expertise
What I Provide to Institutions
Chebet provides independent technical expertise, advisory support and practical peacebuilding solutions to institutions working in complex conflict and peacebuilding environments.
Her advisory contribution can support:
Conflict & Peace Analysis — context analysis, conflict assessment, prevention strategies and locally grounded peacebuilding approaches.
Mediation & Dialogue — dialogue design, facilitation support, mediation approaches and stakeholder engagement.
Women, Peace & Security — strengthening women’s meaningful participation, leadership and protection within peace and security processes.

Demonstrated Contribution & Impact
Her work has contributed to strengthening dialogue, local peace mechanisms, community resilience, conflict prevention, women’s participation and practical peacebuilding capacity.
A distinctive feature of her experience is the ability to work across levels — from communities and local peace actors to government, regional and international stakeholders — while maintaining a strong understanding of local context.
Distinctive Professional Proposition
Chebet combines African field experience, government and institutional engagement, regional understanding and international peace and security perspectives.
Her strength lies in connecting strategic policy thinking with practical implementation — helping institutions understand conflict dynamics, engage relevant stakeholders and develop peacebuilding responses that are context-sensitive, inclusive and operationally credible.
Professional Positioning
Chebet Eunice brings an independent, African and internationally oriented technical perspective to peacebuilding, conflict resolution and international peace and security.
She is available to support governments, UN and international organisations, regional institutions, diplomatic missions, development partners, civil society organisations and peacebuilding initiatives requiring experienced technical expertise, strategic advice and context-informed support.
Peacebuilding requires more than understanding conflict. It requires the ability to connect analysis, dialogue, institutions and communities to practical pathways toward sustainable peace.
