Capacity building is an important strategy appealing to the conditions of child soldiers and human trafficking. Reliability is an important precondition to build trust and thus to change attitudes lateron. However, it is not a panacea for every problem. Various key conflict management strategies should be applied contemporaneously to cover different areas of difficulties. DCAP presents a comprehensive overview of enforcement measures for dealing with child soldiers, among which capacity building is one viable method among many (DCAF 2006).
