What is the role of CSOs in peace building?
In an attempt to bring peace in a number of homesteads in Kole District: Kole Intellectual Forum, a CBO deeply rooted within the community and wants to see its community developing; they always try to organize community for a number of events that bring them together with the intention of looking into how best they can contribute towards the peace building of the area. In reference to Paffenholz and Spurk terms of definition, they identified seven functions that can be played by civil society in peace processes and the functions include protection, monitoring, advocacy, socialization, social cohesion, facilitation, and service delivery.
To accomplish these goals, Kole intellectual Forum is using several of the above mentioned functions to help them meet their target of peace building; but mainly, to address functional structures, emotional conditions and social psychology, social stability, rule of law and ethics, and cultural sensitivities

Music is used at KIFA: As a tool of communication
In one way of advocacy to the community, Kole Intellectual Forum (KIFA) is using music as one such powerful tool for communication, because they believe that, this can help them to express emotions, ideas, and even complex messages to their community without relying solely on words; as well as creating a sense of shared experience, while also connecting people on an emotional level, and making them to understand the context of the item joyfully.
Through the tool, messages delivered are conveying feelings and thoughts that are difficult to put into words, allowing for deeper and more profound expressions. Since, they use elements like melody, rhythm, and dynamics, the elements are contributing to the emotional impact of the subject being promoted; creating specific moods and atmospheres, that can influence at the ways people interpret and respond to messages.
